Why Oregon documents get stuck or sent back

An apostille can only come from the state that issued the record, or the state where the notary was commissioned. These are the problems we fix most often for Oregon documents.

California returned your Oregon record

Sacramento only apostilles California documents. An Oregon birth or marriage certificate is sent back unprocessed.

A translation that was never notarized

Oregon does not translate documents. If a translation must travel with the apostille, it has to be notarized before Oregon will authenticate it.

A photocopy instead of a certified copy

Oregon authenticates the official's signature on a certified copy. A photocopy of your certificate cannot be apostilled.

Forms and fees from out of state

Request forms, fees and return shipping to Salem take time you may not have before your appointment.

The Oregon rule that sends documents back

The Oregon Secretary of State can only authenticate documents created within Oregon's jurisdiction, and it cannot authenticate federal documents such as FBI reports. Translations must be notarized before Oregon attaches the apostille. We confirm your document qualifies before it ships to Salem.
