What is an Apostille?
Apostille (pronounced “ah-po-steel”) means certification in French. It is the name for a specialized certification issued by the Secretary of State. An Apostille is affixed to your original document to verify an official’s signature is authentic, making it acceptable for use in countries that are part of the Hague Convention of 1961.
What about countries not part of the Hague Convention?
Countries that are not part of the Hague Convention are also eligible for authentication. But they must go through a few different steps toward legalization. Fortunately, our firm has the infrastructure in place to help you in every step of this process. It will typically involve an Apostille at the State level, an Authentication at the Department of State, and then ultimately the Legalization of the document at the country’s embassy.
The following countries require these additional steps:
- Afghanistan
- Algeria
- Angola
- Bangladesh

What’s the difference between a California & Federal Apostille?
A Secretary of State-issued Apostille and those coming from the Federal Department of State carry equal weight in terms of status and certification. The difference is that they verify the signatures of different Mobile Notary Public officials. Depending on your document, we will need to evaluate which agency your documents need to go through and the country for which you need these documents processed.
Whose signatures can be Apostilled or authenticated?
The California Secretary of State will authenticate documents that bear the signatures of public officials, including:
- Mobile Notary Public
- Court Deputies & Court Clerks
- County Clerks
- Department of Justice Officials
- County Recorders
- FBI Officials
- Criminal Identification Specialist (DOJ)
- Superior Court Judges
