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

How mail-in Wisconsin apostille works
- Start your order online and tell us the document type and the destination country.
- Mail your Wisconsin documents to us (or upload them where allowed).
- We submit to the Wisconsin Secretary of State — or to the U.S. Department of State for federal documents.
- We return your apostilled documents by tracked, secure shipping to any address, in the U.S. or abroad.
Federal documents from Wisconsin
Some documents issued to Wisconsin 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 Wisconsin Secretary of State; 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 Wisconsin 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 Wisconsin document
Mail it in from anywhere in Wisconsin — we handle the rest.

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