Apostille Services Across California State

Whether you live in Los Angeles, San Diego, the Bay Area, or anywhere in between, we handle your California apostille from start to finish. We prepare documents for all Hague Convention countries and guide you through non-Hague legalization when needed. If you’re unsure how to begin, we’ll confirm exactly what your destination country requires before any submission.

How the Apostille Process Works in California

Obtaining an apostille in California follows a clear sequence. However, the specific requirements depend on the type of document that needs authentication. Vital records must be presented as certified copies, school and business documents often require registrar or corporate signatures, and some personal documents need notarization.

To avoid delays or rejections, it is essential that each file meets California state apostille standards before submission. Once verified, your paperwork is forwarded to the Secretary of State for authentication and returned with the official certificate attached, making it valid for international use.
