What Is an Apostille and Why Do You Need It?
Are you planning to use a US-based legal document such as a birth certificate, power of attorney, diploma, or legal affidavit in another country? If yes, then you may need an apostille. An Apostille is a certificate that authenticates the origin of a document. Without it, your documents may not be accepted or recognized in countries that are members of The Hague Convention.
Before a document can be apostilled, it must be notarized by a certified notary public.
Once the document has been notarized, it is submitted to the state government where the notarization took place. The state then issues the official apostille certificate.
After attaching the apostille certificate with your document, your document is now legally recognized in any country that is a part of The Hague Convention.
We proudly stand behind every apostille we issue, providing you with the legal documentation you need.

WHEN DO YOU NEED APOSTILLE SERVICES IN LOS ANGELES?
If you are planning to use a U.S.-based legal document in another country, that country may require that the document be apostilled before they will accept it. This is especially common with documents such as birth certificates, marriage certificates, and divorce decrees, but it can apply to other types of documents as well. Apostille services are also commonly required for documents being used for international adoption. No matter what you need the apostille for, we can provide prompt and professional service so you receive your certificate quickly.
What Is the Apostille Process?
The first step is to contact a certified mobile notary public to have your document notarized. Once the document has been notarized, we can create the apostille to accompany the document. The apostille certificate will be attached to your document and then returned to you. From there, you can use the document as normal in any country that is part of The Hague Convention. If you’re ever not sure about the validity of the apostille, or you’re having issues with your documentation while traveling, we’re here to help.
Moving Forward With Your Apostille
Once you have the apostille, it’s important to ensure it remains with the accompanying document as you travel or submit the paperwork to the proper authority. Apostilles are generally valid for a set period of time from the date of issuance, so be sure to check the apostille certificate and verify it will still be valid when you need to use it. If you want apostille services in California and have any questions, we’ll be more than happy to help. We can issue a new apostille for a previously notarized document, should the apostille certificate expire before you travel.
