Orange County Apostille keeps notary and document services available by appointment so your paperwork keeps moving over the long weekend.

What we handle on Thanksgiving
Mobile & in-office notary
Acknowledgments, jurats, and sworn statements witnessed by a California-commissioned notary — at our office or at your home.
Apostille prep
We review and prepare your documents on the holiday and submit to the correct Secretary of State the moment offices reopen.
Certified translation
90+ languages, prepared to travel alongside your authenticated documents for use abroad.
Appointments are required. Holiday-weekend slots fill quickly, so reserve your time in advance and we’ll have a notary ready when you arrive.
How Thanksgiving service works
- Book your appointment. Pick a time and the office nearest you, or request mobile service to your home or a family gathering.
- Bring valid photo ID. A current government-issued photo ID for every signer. Leave the document unsigned — we witness the signature.
- Sign, seal, and schedule the apostille. We notarize on the spot and queue any apostille or legalization for the next business day.

Frequently asked questions
Are you really open on Thanksgiving?
Yes — by appointment. We schedule notary and document appointments on Thanksgiving, Thursday, November 26, 2026, and our online ordering runs 24/7. Mail-in and upload options are open nationwide.
Can the apostille be issued on the holiday itself?
The California Secretary of State and the U.S. Department of State are closed on Thanksgiving, so the government stamp is applied the next business day. We do all the preparation and notarization on the holiday so your document is first in line.
Can a notary come to me?
Yes. Our mobile notaries travel throughout Orange County to homes, offices, hospitals, and care facilities — convenient when the family is already together for the holiday.
Do I have to be in California?
No. We serve clients in every U.S. state and Americans abroad. Start online or mail your documents in from anywhere in the country.
