Apostille Notary Services in Daly City, CA
Need an apostille in Daly City, CA? I provide mobile notary and California apostille services for Daly City's international community, including many residents with family ties to the Philippines, China, and other countries who need documents accepted abroad. I notarize eligible documents at your home, office, or another convenient Daly City location, then submit them to the California Secretary of State for the apostille. Completed documents are returned with tracking. Certified record retrieval, certified translation, embassy legalization, and international shipping are available when needed.
​
The Philippines has accepted apostilles since 2019, so most documents for Philippine use need only a California apostille, not consulate legalization.

Frequently Asked Questions - Daly City Apostille
What is an apostille?
An apostille is an official certificate issued by the California Secretary of State that authenticates a public official's signature for use in countries that are members of the Hague Apostille Convention. The apostille authenticates the signature and official seal, not the contents of the document.
How do I get an apostille in Daly City, California?
​For Daly City apostille service, your document must be California-issued or California-notarized. If notarization is required, I can travel to your home, office, hospital, or another convenient location in Daly City before coordinating submission to the California Secretary of State for apostille processing.
Do documents need to be notarized before getting an apostille?
Some documents require notarization before apostille processing, including powers of attorney, affidavits, consent letters, authorization forms, and certain business documents. Certified California birth certificates, marriage certificates, death certificates, and divorce decrees do not require notarization before apostille processing.
How much does apostille service cost in Daly City?
Standard apostille service is $185 for the first document and $75 for each additional document in the same order, completed in 5 to 7 business days. Expedited service is $245 for the first document, completed in 1 to 2 business days. The $20 Secretary of State fee, notarization, travel, and shipping are billed separately. See Apostille Pricing and Turnaround Time above for details.
What documents can be apostilled in California?
California apostilles are available for birth certificates, marriage certificates, death certificates, divorce decrees, powers of attorney, affidavits, diplomas, transcripts, corporate documents, adoption records, and other eligible California-issued or California-notarized documents.
What if my document is going to a non-Hague country?
If the destination country is not a member of the Hague Apostille Convention, the document requires authentication and embassy or consulate legalization instead of an apostille.
Can an apostille request be rejected?
Yes. A request can be rejected if the document is incomplete, improperly notarized, issued by the wrong agency, submitted to the wrong authority, or does not meet California Secretary of State requirements.
Can you help if I need the certified record first?
Yes. If you need a certified California birth certificate, marriage certificate, death certificate, divorce decree, or court record before obtaining an apostille, I provide California Certified Record Retrieval Services for eligible requesters.
I provide apostille services and mobile notary appointments throughout San Mateo County and the Peninsula, with same-day service available when scheduling permits.
