Apostille, Authentication
& Legalization

We provide professional apostille services for documents being used internationally, handling the entire process from start to finish so you don’t have to deal with government offices, forms, or delays.

Our team manages filings with the California Secretary of State, U.S. Department of State, and foreign consulates or embassies, ensuring your documents meet the exact requirements of the destination country.

What Is an Apostille?

An apostille is an official certification that allows your document to be recognized for legal use in another country. It verifies that the notarization or issuing authority is valid.

Depending on the country, your documents may require:

  • Apostille (Hague Apostille Convention countries)

  • Authentication (non-Hague countries)

  • Embassy or consulate authentication (a.k.a. embassy or consular legalization)

We determine the correct process and handle it for you.
