Common reasons you may need an apostille:
What is an apostille?
An apostille is a certificate issued by a government authority that makes a U.S. public document valid for use in another country that is part of the Hague Apostille Convention.
Which documents usually need an apostille?
Common examples include birth, marriage, and death certificates, school records, court and adoption documents, and corporate or business records used outside the United States.
How long does the apostille process take?
Timing depends on the document type and issuing state. Rush options may be available depending on your deadline and destination country.
Do my documents need to be notarized first?
Some documents must be notarized before an apostille can be issued, while others (like vital records) must be issued directly by the appropriate government office.
A commissioned mobile notary comes to homes, offices, hospitals, rehab facilities, and jails across Los Angeles County, Orange County and Ventura County so your documents are properly signed and notarized without the stress of travel.
What do I need to bring to my appointment?
Each signer must have a valid, government‑issued photo ID, such as a driver’s license or passport, along with all pages of the documents that need to be notarized.
Where can we meet for a mobile notary appointment?
Appointments are available at homes, offices, hospitals, rehab and care facilities, jails, and other mutually agreed‑upon locations within our service area.
How far in advance should I schedule?
Same‑day and rush appointments are often available, but booking in advance gives you the best choice of times, especially for evenings, weekends, and holidays.
What if my document requires witnesses?
Some documents require one or more witnesses. You can provide your own, or we can discuss options when you schedule so the proper witnesses are present.
We provide digital Live Scan fingerprinting for employment, professional licensing, volunteer background checks, and other clearances throughout the Los Angeles area so you can get cleared on time.
What is Live Scan fingerprinting?
Live Scan is inkless electronic fingerprinting where your prints are captured digitally and sent directly to the California Department of Justice and, when required, the FBI for a background check.
What do I need to bring to my Live Scan appointment?
Bring a valid, government‑issued photo ID and the completed “Request for Live Scan Service” form from the agency or employer that requested your fingerprints.
How long do Live Scan results take?
Results are usually returned to the requesting agency within a few days, and in some cases within hours, depending on the type of check and the agencies involved.
Can you provide mobile Live Scan for groups?
Yes. Mobile Live Scan can be arranged for offices, schools, care facilities, and production sets when multiple people need to be fingerprinted at the same location.
We coordinate certified document translations through a trusted ATA‑level partner for immigration, legal, academic, and business documents, then connect them with notarization and apostille when needed.
Do you personally translate the documents?
Translations are handled by a professional, certified translation partner, and we coordinate the process so you have a single point of contact for translation, notarization, and apostille.
What types of translations can you arrange?
We can coordinate certified translations for personal, legal, and business documents such as vital records, school records, powers of attorney, contracts, and more.
How is pricing for translation determined?
Translation is typically priced per page or per word based on the document type and language. We review your documents first, then provide a clear estimate before any work begins.
Can translation be combined with apostille or notary services?
Yes. Many clients need both translation and apostille or notarization. We can coordinate everything together so your final documents are properly translated and accepted where they will be used.
