Why Are Apostille and Notary Services Important?

Visa and residency applications (National Visa Center)
International business registrations (U.S. Small Business Administration)
Foreign marriage and adoption (U.S. Department of State)
Education and employment abroad (U.S. Department of Education)

Step-by-Step Guide to Notarizing and Apostilling Your Documents

Step 1: Notarization of Documents

Documents requiring notarization must be signed in front of a certified notary public.
We provide mobile notary services for your convenience.
Check the official National Notary Association for notary requirements.

Step 2: Apostille Certification for International Use

State-issued documents must be submitted to the California Secretary of State.
Federal documents require authentication from the U.S. Department of State.

Step 3: Verify Requirements for Your Destination Country

If the country is a member of the Hague Apostille Convention, an apostille is sufficient.
Non-Hague countries require embassy legalization through the Embassy of the Destination Country.

Step 4: Receive Your Apostilled and Notarized Document

We provide secure shipping and delivery via FedEx and UPS.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

1. Submitting Incorrect or Uncertified Documents

Only certified copies from official agencies can be notarized and apostilled.

2. Failing to Notarize Before Apostille Certification

Some documents, like power of attorney, must be notarized before obtaining an apostille.

3. Applying to the Wrong Authority

State documents → California Secretary of State
Federal documents → U.S. Department of State
