Orange County Apostille - Apostille Service in Southern California

An Apostille of Vital Records is a certification that verifies the authenticity of vital documents, such as birth certificates, marriage certificates, and death certificates, for use in foreign countries. This certification simplifies the process of international document recognition by confirming that the document has been issued by a competent authority and does not require further authentication. Vital record Apostilles are commonly required for various purposes, including immigration, marriage abroad, and adoption, ensuring legal validity and acceptance of these documents across borders.

An Apostille of Non-Vital Records is a certification that verifies the authenticity of public documents other than vital records, such as educational diplomas, corporate documents, or court judgments, for use in foreign countries. This certification streamlines the process of legalizing documents for international use, eliminating the need for additional authentication by embassy or consular authorities. It ensures that non-vital records are recognized as valid and legally binding in countries that are members of the Hague Convention, simplifying international transactions, legal proceedings, and other cross-border activities.
