What is an Apostille and Why Do You Need One?
An apostille is an official certification required to authenticate legal documents for use in Hague Apostille Convention member countries. This process eliminates the need for further embassy or consular legalization.
Documents That Require Apostille Certification
Apostille certification is essential for documents needed for international travel, immigration, marriage, and business purposes. These documents include:
- Birth Certificates (CDC Vital Records)
- Marriage Certificates (California Department of Public Health)
- FBI Background Checks (FBI Identity History Summary)
- Divorce Decrees (U.S. Courts)
- Business Documents and Power of Attorney (California Secretary of State)
Notary Seal and Apostille Services
Our notary public services ensure that your documents are properly notarized before submitting them for apostille certification. Notarization is a crucial step for legal documents such as:
- Power of Attorney Forms (American Bar Association)
- Affidavits and Contracts (National Notary Association)
- Educational Diplomas and Transcripts (U.S. Department of Education)
- Business Agreements and Corporate Documents (U.S. Small Business Administration)
How to Get an Apostille in Orange County
- Gather Your Documents: Ensure that all documents requiring an apostille are certified copies.
