Document Legalization

Legalization, also known as or apostille, is a formal procedure used to attain legal force for a document—such as an education diploma, certificate, license, and more—in the territory of another country. The procedure is used to authenticate signatures of persons who sign documents and, if required, to confirm the authenticity of the seal or stamp attached. The ultimate purpose of the apostille is to submit a document to the authorities of another country.

For me to successfully obtain the correct apostille, you must identify the country of destination. Apostlle123 can only obtain an apostille for documents issued in any State by the following public officials or their deputies:

County Clerks or Recorders
Executive Officers
Court Administrators
Judges of the Superior Court
Executive Clerks

Notaries Public
Officers Whose Authority Is Not Limited to Any Particular County
State Officials

Documents

All documents must be currently certified by the appropriate public official or must be notarized by a notary public. Some examples of documents submitted for apostille are:

Birth Certificates
Marriage Licenses
Bylaws
Papers for Adoption Purposes
Divorce Decree
Powers of Attorney
Corporate Documents: Articles, Mergers, Amendments, & More

School Records: Diplomas, Transcripts, Letters Relating to Degrees, & More
Deeds of Assignment
References and Job Certification
Distributorship Agreements
Trademarks

School Records

Individuals requiring an Apostille of any school records must obtain a notarized copy of the record from the high school, university, or other educational institution, before submitting the documents for authentication.

Fees

The fee for obtaining one Apostille is $225 from the California Secretary of State. The fee includes the apostille fee, a notary authentication or jurat, and reliable priorty FedEx overnight shipping to and from the California Secretary of State. Each additional apostille requested is $100 each. This is the fastest (3 to 4 days) and is the most reliable way to obtain an apostille.

I also offer expert assistance in obtaining apostilles anywhere in the United States. This service can take up to 2-3 weeks and the fees vary by state.

Additional Services

Countries that do not participate in the Hague Convention require additional document authentication by the US department of State and Consulate legalization. I offer professional assistance with apostilles on FBI backround checks, consular services, as well as assistance with documents that have to go through the US Department of State in Washington, DC. I cannot quote a Legalization fee because each embassy/consulate charges differently
