What Is an Apostille?

An apostille is an official certification that verifies a California document is authentic and legally valid for use in another country.

In plain terms, an apostille confirms:

  • The document is legitimate

  • The notary or issuing authority is valid

  • The document will be accepted internationally

Apostilles for California documents are issued by the California Secretary of State.

Do You Need an Apostille?

You typically need an apostille if:

  • Your document was issued or notarized in California, and

  • The document will be used outside of the United States

Clients across Los Angeles, Orange County, and Ventura County commonly need apostilles for:

  • Marriage or divorce abroad

  • Dual citizenship or immigration

  • Studying or working overseas
