California Apostille Services

What Is an Apostille?

An apostille is a certificate from the California Secretary of State that authenticates the signature and seal on a California document, such as a notarized document, so it can be accepted in another country that recognizes apostilles. It confirms who signed and in what capacity; it does not confirm what the document says.

The document usually has to be notarized first, and the Secretary of State generally needs the original rather than a photocopy. Mira can notarize your document, review it and coordinate the pickup and submission. See the frequently asked questions about originals and timing, check apostille pricing, or confirm your service area.
