An apostille is a certification that proves your document is real and was signed by a legitimate U.S. official.
It's required by foreign governments before they'll accept documents from the U.S. — like birth certificates, powers of attorney, diplomas, or business filings.
If the country you're sending documents to follows the Hague Apostille Convention (most do), you need an apostille — not just a notarization.

How It Works
1. Free consult call or document evaluation
Tell us what you have and where it's going. We'll tell you exactly what's needed and what it'll cost. You can also upload your document for a free review.
On our call, we will:
Determine what document type you have,
What the destination country requires, and
What we need to do to prepare your documents for submission.
You may also send a preview of your document for a free evaluation, below
2. Notarization (if needed)
We come to you. If your document needs to be notarized before it can be apostilled, we handle that at pickup — no extra trips for you.
3. Document review
We check your document against California and destination-country requirements before we leave. Errors at this stage are what cause rejections at foreign embassies — we catch them first.
4. Apostille Filing
We submit your documents to the State of California or the appropriate federal authority and secure your apostille certificate.
5. Return Delivery
Local clients receive documents by same-day courier. Nationwide clients receive documents by insured tracked mail.
Optional add-ons: Certified translation, embassy/consulate legalization, insured shipping.
