Apostille Services

Verified. Authenticated. Accepted Worldwide.

When you need a document recognized in another country, an apostille is the official certification that makes it happen. Without it, foreign governments, courts, schools, and businesses may reject your documents outright. Our Orange County apostille services ensure your documents are properly notarized and submitted for apostille certification in full compliance with California requirements. We provide mobile and scheduled appointments throughout Orange County, CA and surrounding areas.

What Is an Apostille?

An apostille is an official government certification that authenticates a document for use in countries that participate in the Hague Apostille Convention of 1961.

When you need a US document accepted abroad, the receiving country needs proof that the document is legitimate and that any notary or official signature on it is genuine. The apostille provides exactly that. In California, the Secretary of State issues apostilles.

We handle the notarization step correctly the first time, so your document moves through the apostille process without delays or rejections.
