What Is an Apostille?

Need to use a California document in another country? You'll need an apostille — an official stamp from the California Secretary of State that says, "Yes, this document is real."

It's like a passport for your paperwork. ✈️📄

Once your document has an apostille, it's legally accepted in over 120 countries around the world (any country that's part of the Hague Convention).

How It Works (4 Simple Steps)

  1. You have a document with an official California signature (like a notary public or county clerk)
  2. We submit it to the California Secretary of State
  3. They verify the signature and attach an apostille certificate
  4. Done! Your document is now ready to use internationally

Most documents require only one apostille. If a document has multiple official signatures (like a deed signed by two notaries), each signature requires its own apostille.

Do I Need Notarization First?

Already certified documents (birth certificates, marriage certificates, diplomas) go straight to apostille.

Personal documents (affidavits, powers of attorney, authorization letters) need notarization first. We can notarize these for $15 before sending for apostille.

Example: If your document needs notarization first, total service would be $315 for one document.

Frequently Asked Questions

What documents can be apostilled?

Any California document with an official signature: birth/death/marriage certificates, diplomas, transcripts, notarized documents, court records, and corporate documents.

What countries accept apostilles?

Over 120 countries that are part of the Hague Convention accept apostilles, including Mexico, Canada, Spain, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, South Korea, China, Brazil, and many others. For a complete list, visit the Hague Conference website. If your destination country is not on the list, contact us - different authentication may be required.

Can you apostille documents from other states?

No, only California documents can be apostilled by the California Secretary of State. Documents from other states must be apostilled by that state's Secretary of State office.

How long does it take?

5 business days from pickup to delivery in the South Bay area.

How does pickup and delivery work?

We coordinate FedEx pickup from your location and FedEx delivery back to you. You'll receive tracking information for both shipments so you can monitor your documents throughout the process.

How do I track my documents?

You'll receive two FedEx tracking numbers upfront - one for the outbound shipment to Sacramento and one for the return delivery to you. You can monitor your documents every step of the way through FedEx tracking.

Do I need to be present?

No. We arrange FedEx pickup from your location, handle the entire process, and deliver your apostilled documents back to you via FedEx. You don't need to be present for either pickup or delivery - FedEx can leave packages in a secure location you specify.

What if my document needs notarization?

We can notarize your document for $15, then send it for apostille. Total service would be $315 for one document.

Can I rush the process?

Contact us to discuss expedited options for urgent needs. While our standard turnaround is 5 business days, we may be able to accommodate faster processing depending on your timeline and the Secretary of State's current availability.

What if my document gets rejected?

We review all documents before submission to minimize rejections. Common issues include improper certification, photocopies instead of originals, or missing notarization. If a document is rejected, we'll work with you to correct the issue and resubmit.
