What Is an Apostille?
An apostille is an official certification issued by the California Secretary of State that authenticates a document for use in foreign countries that are part of the Hague Convention (over 120 countries including Mexico, Russia, Germany, UAE, India, and more).
You need an apostille when presenting California-issued documents abroad — for immigration, school enrollment, marriage, employment, and business purposes.

Do I need to notarize my document before getting an apostille?
It depends. Vital records (birth, marriage, death certificates) from the county recorder don’t need notarization first. Personal documents like diplomas, affidavits, and letters do. We assess your specific document when you call.

All 120+ Hague Convention member countries, including Mexico, Russia, Ukraine, Germany, France, UAE, India, Brazil, China (for some documents), and most of Europe and Latin America.
Can you apostille an FBI background check?
Yes — FBI background checks (Identity History Summary) require a specific process. The document must first come directly from the FBI (not a third party), then we submit to the Secretary of State. We handle this regularly.
