Overview
Document Types
Getting a California document accepted abroad depends on the document type, who issued or signed it, and where it will be used. We handle the full process for California-issued documents so it's done correctly the first time.
Birth, marriage, and death certificates
Must be an official certified copy from the issuing authority. A photocopy, or a copy made by a notary, is not accepted.
Power of attorney and affidavits
Must be signed before a California notary using the correct notarial certificate.
Diplomas and transcripts
The route depends on who issued and signed the document. We tell you before you order anything.
Business documents
Company documents signed by officers are usually notarized. Certificates from state offices follow a different path.
Court documents
Eligible when properly certified by the issuing court.
FBI background checks and other federal documents are not apostilled by California. They are handled by the U.S. Department of State.
We do not process federal documents, but we can point you in the right direction.
We show the government fee separately from our service fee and give you the full total before we start.
Timing depends on document readiness, the government's current processing time, and shipping. Government times change often, so we give you a current estimate when you contact us.
A quick review before submission prevents most of these.
