What is an Apostille?
An apostille is an official certificate issued by the Secretary of State that verifies the signature and authority of a notary public or other public official on a document. It is required when U.S. documents need to be recognized for legal use in countries that are members of the Hague Apostille Convention of 1961.
While an apostille confirms the authenticity of the official’s signature and commission, it does not verify the information/content of the document itself. Apostilles are commonly requested for both personal and business purposes, and the process must be completed correctly to ensure acceptance overseas.

Apostille In San Jose, California 95123 - FAQ's
Notaries cannot issue apostilles directly. They can, however, facilitate the process by reviewing your documents, notarizing them if required, and delivering them to the correct authority (such as the California Secretary of State or the U.S. Department of State). Once completed, the apostilled documents are returned to you or mailed to your chosen domestic or international destination.
I take extra care to review your documents before submission and provide guidance to help prevent rejections. Common reasons for rejection include missing notarizations, incorrect certificates, or documents issued by the wrong authority. By checking everything in advance, I greatly reduce the chance of issues.
If, for any reason, your documents are rejected by the Secretary of State or another authority, I will resubmit them at no additional service charge for my facilitation. You would only be responsible for any new state or shipping fees that apply.
I offer flexible delivery: local hand-delivery or return shipping within the continental U.S. For international addresses, I provide shipping options at an additional cost. Once the apostille certificate is finalized, I’ll return your documents using your preferred courier method.
Authentications are certificates that verify the signature on a document for international use, similar to apostilles. The key difference is that authentications are required for countries not part of the Hague Apostille Convention. The process is very similar to obtaining an apostille, and I can guide you through each step to ensure your documents are properly prepared and accepted abroad.
An apostille does not expire, but its acceptance depends on the underlying document and the requirements of the requesting country or institution. For time-sensitive documents—such as background checks or birth certificates—authorities may require that the apostille be recently issued, often within the past three to six months.
