Why You May Need An Apostille or Certification
If your official certified or notarized documents are going to be used outside of the United States, they will frequently need an Apostille or Certification. The Secretary of State of California issues Apostilles and Certifications for documents for which they authenticate the signatures of certain public officials, such as Notaries Public, County Clerks, Clerks of the Superior Court and Judges of the Superior Court. Such documents include Birth Certificates, Death Certificates, and Marriage Certificates, documents notarized by California Notaries, and Court Orders from the California Superior Court. Other documents that the Secretary of State issues Apostilles and Certifications for include documents signed by certain State of California public officials. Some Certified documents require additional legalization from a Consulate or Embassy for use in the destination country.
The State of California's Secretary of State's office in Sacramento officially says that they take up to 2 weeks to process mailed orders for Apostilles and Certifications on documents which require signature Authentications, including documents signed by County Clerks and Notaries Public in California.
If you need to get an Apostille faster than the 2 weeks that it takes the California Secretary of State's office in Sacramento, Hollywood Notary.Net offers Apostille Services that will get your documents Apostilled and delivered back to you faster, and on a time-definite basis. We process your order by personally driving all Los Angeles and Orange County Notarized documents to the appropriate County Clerk's office for Notary Authentication, and then delivering your documents to the Secretary of State's office in Los Angeles, where we wait for processing and send the documents back to you.
We can get an Apostille on any document in California that has been authenticated by any County Clerk/Recorder's office in California, for all of the 58 California Counties. Your signature or authentication by the County Clerk should have been obtained within the last 5 years in order to be quickly accepted by the Secretary of State (sometimes older signatures take more time to verify).
