Apostille Services San Diego, California

An apostille is an official certification that verifies the authenticity of a public official's signature of a notarized document for use in another country that is part of the Hague Apostille Convention. If you’re handling international business, adoption, education, or estate matters, San Diego Notary Signing Agent can help you obtain an apostille efficiently, accurately, and quickly to ensure your document is recognized abroad.

Some common documents that require an apostille certification include birth certificates, marriage certificates, powers of attorney, diplomas, transcripts, notarized affidavits, and business documents. We provide apostille facilitation for both personal and corporate documents, locally in San Diego County, California, nationwide in all 50 states, whether you are local or abroad.

The apostille process involves verifying the notary or issuing authority, authenticating the signature, and submitting the document to the California Secretary of State or other appropriate state office.
