Orange County Apostille Services Open on Weekends & Holidays

Need an apostille on a Saturday, Sunday, or federal holiday? You’re in the right place.

At Orange County Apostille, we understand that documentation deadlines don’t stop for weekends or holidays. Whether you need to send a birth certificate to Mexico, FBI background check to Spain, or marriage certificate to Italy, our expert team is available 7 days a week—including major holidays—to help get your documents apostilled quickly and correctly.

Let’s explore why weekend and holiday apostille services in Orange County matter, how we can help, and what documents you can get apostilled even when other offices are closed.


Why Weekend & Holiday Apostille Services Are Essential in Orange County

Most Secretary of State offices and government agencies are only open Monday through Friday. But life doesn’t operate on a 9-to-5 schedule. Some of the most common scenarios that require urgent apostille services on weekends or holidays include:

  • Emergency travel or immigration interviews
  • Time-sensitive school applications overseas
  • Funeral arrangements or death certificate authentication for international transport

At Orange County Apostille, we are available to meet your needs—even on Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year’s, and all major holidays.


What Makes Orange County Apostille Different?

Federal vs. State Apostille: We Do Both

Some documents, like FBI background checks or Certificates of Naturalization, require federal apostille certification through the U.S. Department of State Office of Authentications.

Other documents, such as birth and marriage certificates, require a state-level apostille from the California Secretary of State.

We handle both—every day of the week.
