Common Questions
Common Questions About Apostilles
What is an Apostille?
An Apostille is a specialized certificate that authenticates the origin of a public document (like a birth certificate or notarized deed) so it will be recognized legally in another country.
Do I need a State or Federal Apostille?
It depends on the document. State documents (Vital records, notarizations) go to the State Secretary. Federal documents (FBI background checks) must go to the US Department of State in D.C. We handle both.
What if the country is not in the Hague Convention?
Then an Apostille is not enough. You need "Embassy Legalization," which involves multiple steps: State certification, US State Dept authentication, and finally the foreign Embassy's stamp. We manage this entire chain for you.
Can you get an Apostille for an out-of-state document?
Yes. While we are based in CA, we have a network of trusted partners to process documents in all 50 states.
