International and Out-of-State Mail-In Apostille Services

---

Whether you’re located outside of California or internationally, our Mail-In Apostille Services provide a convenient, reliable, and efficient solution for obtaining the necessary certifications for your documents.

An apostille is a specialized certificate that authenticates the origin of a public document, such as a birth certificate, marriage license, or power of attorney, for use in foreign countries that are part of the Hague Apostille Convention. This process ensures that your documents will be recognized and accepted in another country without the need for additional legalization.

An apostille is essential for ensuring that your documents are legally recognized in foreign countries. Without an apostille, your documents might not be accepted, potentially causing delays and complications in legal, business, or personal matters abroad. Our service provides peace of mind, knowing that your documents will be recognized as valid and authentic.

1. How long does the apostille process take?

We strive to complete the apostille process as quickly as possible. Typically, it takes between 5-7 business days from the time we receive your documents.

2. Can you apostille documents that are not issued in California?

We specialize in apostilling documents issued within California. If your document is from another state, we recommend contacting a local apostille service in that state.

3. What countries accept an apostille?

Countries that are members of the Hague Apostille Convention accept documents with an apostille. If you’re unsure whether your destination country is a member, please consult the official Hague website.

4. How do I know if my document needs an apostille or another form of authentication?

The requirement depends on the country where your document will be used. If your destination country is not part of the Hague Convention, your document may need a different type of certification. We can help guide you through this process.
