Common Apostille Documents and Situations

Apostille services are commonly needed when documents must be used outside the United States.

Clients often request apostille certification for documents such as:

• Birth certificates for dual citizenship
• Marriage certificates for international registration
• Powers of attorney used for legal or financial matters overseas
• School diplomas or transcripts for international education
• Corporate documents for international business transactions
• Background checks or official records required for employment abroad

Most documents must be notarized before they can be submitted for apostille certification. If notarization is required, it can be completed during the pickup appointment.

How The Apostille Process Works

📄 Document Review

The document is reviewed to confirm whether it is ready for apostille certification or if notarization or certification is required first.

🖋️ Notarization / Document Preparation

Most documents must be notarized before they can be submitted for apostille certification. If notarization is required, it can be completed during the same appointment.

🏛️ Apostille Submission

Once the document is properly prepared, it can be submitted to the California Secretary of State for apostille certification.

Preparing a document for apostille certification usually involves a few steps to make sure it meets the requirements of the California Secretary of State.

Documents submitted for apostille certification must meet the requirements of the California Secretary of State.

Some of the most common reasons documents are rejected include:

• submitting a plain photocopy instead of an certified copy

• incorrect or incomplete notarization

• missing notarial certificate wording

• unclear or smudged notary seals

• documents issued by officials whose signatures are not on file with the Secretary of State

• documents issued in another state or by a federal agency

Documents are reviewed before submission to help prevent delays or rejections.

When documents require notarization before apostille certification, this can be done during the same appointment so the document is prepared correctly before submission.

⚠️ Avoiding Common Apostille Problems

Mobile service allows documents to be prepared and finalized before submission to the California Secretary of State.

During the appointment we can assist with:

• Notarizing documents that require notarization before apostille

• Printing pages before signing and notarizing

• Scanning documents after notarization for your records

• Preparing documents for submission so they meet apostille requirements

This allows the apostille process to be coordinated without requiring driving to government offices.

What Is An Apostille?

An apostille is a certificate issued by the California Secretary of State that verifies the authenticity of a public document so it can be used in another country.

The apostille confirms the signature or seal of the public official on the document.

It does not verify the contents of the document itself.

Apostilles are typically required when documents such as birth certificates, powers of attorney, school records, or business documents that must be submitted outside the United States.
