Mobile Apostille Services - AVAILABLE 24/7

What is an Apostille and what is its purpose?

An apostille is an official certification that verifies the authenticity of a document for use in foreign countries that are members of the Hague Apostille Convention.  It ensures that your document will be recognized internationally and accepted for various legal purposes, such as visas, international business transactions, legal matters, or academic records.

An Apostille certifies:

• the authenticity of the signature of the public official who signed the document,
• the capacity in which that public official acted, and
• when appropriate, the identity of the seal or stamp which the document bears, e.g. a notary public seal.

The Apostille does not validate the contents of the document.

 In California, the apostille process is typically handled by the California Secretary of State's office, but I can take care of all the details for you, saving you time and effort!

For birth and death certificates, the California

For birth and death certificates, the California Secretary of State can issue an Apostille for the signatures of:

• county clerks and their deputies,
• county recorders and their deputies, and
• the State Registrar (California Department of Public Health).

If your birth or death certificate was issued by a city- or county-level agency and has the signature of a Health Officer or County Registrar (e.g. Local Registrar, Registrar of Vital Records), prior to presenting for apostille authentication, one of the following may be required:

• have that birth or death certificate certified by the county clerk’s office in the county in which it was issued, or
• obtain a certified copy of that birth or death certificate from the county recorder or State of California Department of Public Health.

The signature, name, and title of the public official can be found at the bottom of a birth or death certificate.

The California Secretary of State issues a single Apostille for documents to be used outside of the United States, regardless of the country of destination.

No. Apostilles can only be issued for documents to be used outside the United States of America. Accordingly, we do not issue Apostilles for Puerto Rico, Guam, United States Virgin Islands, Northern Mariana Islands, American Samoa, or any other American territories or possessions. Generally, the notarial act is sufficient for use in any American territory or possession.

Yes. If the notarization of the document is in English, the California Secretary of State can issue an Apostille. The rest of the document can be in any other language.
