Since 2005, our office in California has been authenticating documents daily through the California Secretary of State’s office. What makes our service unique, is that we can apostille your California documents the same-day and return them to you the next business morning by FedEx.
In California, not every document issued by the County Clerk or State will qualify for an apostille. For example, documents issued by the Health Services Department do not qualify for an apostille because, the document is signed by a Medical Doctor. In order to apostille these type of documents, we will need to have them first certified by the County Clerk. This extra step called an “Exemplification”. You can also request a new certified copy by the County Clerk in order to avoid the exemplification process and cost.
The benefit of doing business with our California Apostille Service, is that we have the experience and knowledge to authenticate your documents quickly. This expedient service was set-up to save you time and money. We currently apostille over 100 documents a month through the California Secretary of State’s office in Los Angeles. Clients from all over the world entrust us with their most important legal documents.
Our California office also handles documents issued from all 50 U.S. States and the U.S. Federal Government. Some of our clients have documents originating from multiple-states. Depending on the jurisdiction of your documents, we will coordinate with our other offices (Washington, D.C. and New York) to expedite the authenticate process.
We can also legalize your documents from all Embassies in Washington, D.C. and most consulate offices in Los Angeles. We have legalized and attested hundreds of documents for the countries of Brazil, Chile, Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, China, Guatemala, Indonesia, Egypt, Taiwan, UAE, and more.
