DS-4194 Request for Authentications Service
Requests authentication of a U.S. public document by the State Department's Office of Authentications, so a foreign government will accept it. Immigration cases need it when a foreign authority demands an authenticated U.S. birth, marriage, court, or corporate record - adoption and overseas marriage cases most often.
