An Apostille (AH-PO-STILL) is a certificate that authenticates the signature of a public official on a document to be used in another country. It certifies the authenticity of the signature of the public official, the capacity of the public official and when appropriate the identity of the seal or stamp which the document bears, e.g. the notary public seal. The California Secretary of State issues Apostille. It certifies a document for international use in countries that are members of the Hague Convention. I service the counties of San Bernardino, Riverside, Orange, and Los Angeles.
In general, your documents must be first notarized. I can provide that service should your documents are not yet notarized. We can then meet at my office or an agreed place so I can have your documents. Your documents will be taken to the Secretary of State who will issue the Apostille certificate. Depending on their schedule, your documents will be mailed to you or I can hand it back to you. Secretary of State has fees depending on the type/quantity of documents, location, and turnaround time. I’m here to guide you through the complexities of your documents. Reliable, prompt, and efficient services are what I offer.
