How the Apostille Process Works (Simplified)

Even though the Secretary of State is the issuing authority, the process to get a document apostilled often requires multiple steps:

Document Review – We check if it qualifies and what format is required
Notarization – If needed, we notarize the original or a certified copy
County Authentication – Some notarized documents require County Clerk verification
State Apostille – We deliver your paperwork to the California Secretary of State
Return Delivery – Once the apostille is issued, we return it to you via your chosen method

💡 We handle every step — from doorstep pickup to state delivery — for a seamless experience.

What Is an Apostille?

An apostille is a special certificate issued by the Secretary of State under the Hague Apostille Convention, which verifies the authenticity of a public document for use in another country. If the destination country is not part of the Hague Convention, we can help with embassy or consulate legalization as well.

We’re Your Apostille Partner — Not the Government

It’s important to clarify: Orange County Apostille is not the California Secretary of State. We do not issue apostilles ourselves. Instead, we facilitate the process by ensuring your documents are properly prepared, submitted, and returned without delays or rejections.

This is similar to how a passport expediting company isn’t the U.S. Department of State — but they can help you get your passport faster by submitting the correct paperwork and offering concierge service.
