Need a document issued in Hawaii apostilled for use overseas? You don’t have to be in Hawaii — or visit us in California — to get it done. Orange County Apostille handles Hawaii documents by mail for clients in Honolulu, Hilo, and Kailua, and everywhere else in the state. Send your documents in and we manage the entire authentication process.
How it works for Hawaii: A Hawaii document is apostilled by the Hawaii Office of the Lieutenant Governor. We prepare and submit your document to that office for you, so you never have to navigate the process yourself.

Federal documents from Hawaii
Some documents issued to Hawaii residents are federal — such as FBI background checks, IRS Form 6166, and documents signed by a U.S. federal official. These are not apostilled by the Hawaii Office of the Lieutenant Governor; they’re authenticated by the U.S. Department of State in Washington, D.C. We handle those too. See our federal apostille page.
Going to a non-Hague country?
If your Hawaii document is destined for a country that isn’t part of the Hague Apostille Convention, it needs full embassy or consulate legalization rather than an apostille. We manage that multi-step process from start to finish.
Apostille your Hawaii document
Mail it in from anywhere in Hawaii — we handle the rest.

I live in Hawaii. Do I have to come to California?
