Apostille Authentications offers notary services in Hillsboro, Oregon, at our office on NE Tanasbourne Drive and by mobile appointment. Whether you are signing a power of attorney, closing on a home, or preparing documents for use abroad, a notary confirms who signed and that they signed willingly. This page explains our Hillsboro notary services, what to bring, and how notarization connects to apostilles.
Why notarization matters
A notarization is the first step that makes many documents usable. Banks, courts, title companies and foreign governments rely on it to confirm identity and prevent fraud. For documents going abroad, a correct notarization is also what the Oregon Secretary of State apostilles; a missing seal or incomplete certificate is one of the most common reasons an apostille is refused.

Notarization and apostilles
If your notarized document will be used in another country, it usually needs an apostille from the Oregon Secretary of State after notarization. We can do both in one visit: notarize your document, then file it for the apostille. Our state apostille fee is $195 for the first document and $65 for each additional document, plus the $10 state fee. See our Hillsboro apostille services, power of attorney apostille and pricing page.
Note that a notary cannot issue an apostille; our guide on whether a notary can apostille a document explains why.
