What is an Apostille?
Understanding the document authentication process.
An apostille is a form of authentication issued to documents for use in countries that participate in the Hague Convention of 1961. It certifies the authenticity of the signature and the capacity in which the person signing the document has acted.
Common documents include birth certificates, marriage certificates, diplomas, transcripts, power of attorney documents, and corporate filings. Any public document bound for a foreign country may require one.
We provide local expertise in Sacramento and Los Angeles, offering significantly faster turnaround times than traditional mailing methods and ensuring direct compliance with CA Secretary of State standards.
