California Apostille Assistance in Sacramento
Helping you get documents submitted for apostille authentication
An apostille is a certificate issued by a government authority that authenticates a document for use in another country. For eligible California documents, apostilles are issued by the California Secretary of State — not by a Notary Public. Sac Serves Notary can assist with the apostille process, including mobile notarization when a document requires notarization and assistance with submitting eligible documents to the California Secretary of State for apostille authentication.
Documents Commonly Submitted for Apostille
Apostille authentication for eligible California documents
Documents submitted for apostille authentication may include powers of attorney, affidavits, corporate and business documents, school documents and other eligible records intended for use outside the United States. Some documents must be properly notarized before they can be submitted for an apostille, while other documents follow different authentication requirements. A California Notary Public performs the notarization when required; the California Secretary of State issues the apostille.
How Our Apostille Assistance Works
From notarization when required to submission for apostille
Sac Serves Notary helps make the California apostille process more convenient. If your document requires notarization, we can arrange a mobile notary appointment at your location in Sacramento County. We can then assist with submitting eligible documents to the California Secretary of State for apostille authentication. The apostille itself is issued by the California Secretary of State, not by Sac Serves Notary or the Notary Public.
