Apostille Courier Services in California
What is an apostille in California?
An apostille is an official certificate issued by the California Secretary of State that authenticates a document for use in another country that is part of the Hague Apostille Convention. An apostille confirms that the notary public or public official who signed the document is properly commissioned in California.
Do you provide apostille services in Los Angeles?
Yes. LJ Notary provides California apostille services for clients throughout Los Angeles and all of California. We handle the apostille process in person with the California Secretary of State for faster and more reliable processing.
Do I need to be located in Los Angeles to use your apostille service?
No. Clients from anywhere in California can use our apostille services. Documents can be mailed or delivered, and LJ Notary completes the apostille process in person on behalf of California clients.
Do you offer same-day apostille service in California?
In many cases, yes. Same-day or expedited apostille service may be available depending on the document type and Secretary of State processing conditions. We always advise on the fastest available option for your apostille request.
Do documents need to be notarized before getting an apostille?
Some documents must be notarized by a commissioned California notary public before an apostille can be issued. Other documents, such as vital records, must be certified copies issued by the appropriate authority. LJ Notary reviews your documents to ensure they are apostille-ready.
Can you notarize and apostille my document?
Yes. LJ Notary is a commissioned California mobile notary and can notarize eligible documents and then complete the California apostille process for you, saving time and avoiding errors.
Which countries accept a California apostille?
A California apostille is accepted in all countries that are members of the Hague Apostille Convention. If your destination country is not a member, additional authentication may be required.
Is an apostille the same as notarization?
No. Notarization verifies a signature. An apostille authenticates the notary or public official’s authority. Many documents require both notarization and apostille.
How do I start the apostille process?
To begin, contact LJ Notary with:
- Type of document
- Country where the document will be used
- Your location in California
- Desired turnaround time
We will confirm whether your document qualifies for a California apostille and guide you through the next steps.
