When government shutdowns occur, many people worry about delays in legal, administrative, and international documentation. However, at Orange County Apostille, our clients can rest assured—we continue to operate normally and provide fast, reliable apostille and notarization services no matter the circumstances.
Unlike federal agencies that may close or limit operations during a shutdown, California’s Secretary of State Apostille Office remains open. This means that our team can continue processing your apostille requests for birth certificates, marriage certificates, powers of attorney, and corporate documents without interruption.
Why Orange County Apostille Remains Operational
During a government shutdown, people often confuse federal closures with state-level services. While agencies like the U.S. Department of State may suspend certain services, state apostille services in California continue as usual.
At Orange County Apostille Services, we work directly with the California Secretary of State and county clerk offices, meaning we can still:
- Apostille birth certificates for international use
- Apostille marriage certificates for visas, immigration, and dual citizenship
- Apostille death certificates for estates, pensions, and inheritance
- Apostille divorce decrees for remarriage abroad or family law purposes
- Apostille powers of attorney for real estate and financial matters
- Apostille corporate documents for international business transactions
No matter what happens on the federal level, we ensure your documents move forward without delay.
Apostilles for International Use
Clients seeking to use documents abroad often worry that a shutdown will cause problems. For example:
- If you need an apostille for Spain, we continue to process California-issued documents without pause.
- Those applying for dual citizenship with Mexico can still rely on us for birth and marriage certificate apostilles.
- Families adopting abroad can continue using our adoption document apostille services without disruption.
We also provide document translation services so your apostilled documents are accepted seamlessly in foreign jurisdictions.
