Apostille Service in Sacramento
If you need a document authenticated for use in another country, chances are you need an apostille. An apostille is a certificate issued by the California Secretary of State that verifies the authenticity of a document — confirming that the signature, seal, or stamp on the document is genuine. Because the Secretary of State’s office is located right here in Sacramento, we are in the best position to handle your apostille quickly and efficiently.
What Is an Apostille?
Sacramento Registered Process Server provides apostille service for individuals, businesses, attorneys, and anyone who needs a document authenticated for international use. We handle the entire process — from reviewing your document for apostille eligibility to physically delivering it to the Secretary of State’s office and returning the apostilled document to you. No navigating state offices, no figuring out forms, no waiting in line. You send us the document and we take care of the rest.
An apostille is a form of authentication issued under the Hague Convention of 1961 — an international treaty that simplifies the process of verifying documents between member countries. When you need to use a U.S. document in a foreign country that is a member of the Hague Convention, the document must carry an apostille to be recognized as legitimate.
How It Works
Step 1 — Submit Your Document
Send us the document that needs an apostille, along with information about the destination country and how you need the document used. We review it to confirm it is eligible for an apostille and that any required notarization or certification is in place.
Step 2 — We File with the Secretary of State
We physically deliver your document to the California Secretary of State’s office in Sacramento for apostille processing. Because we are local, we handle this in person rather than relying on mail — which means faster turnaround and no risk of documents getting lost in transit.
Step 3 — Apostilled Document Returned to You
Once the Secretary of State issues the apostille, we return the authenticated document to you. You can pick it up, or we can ship it to any address you specify — including international destinations.
