How Apostille Works for Los Angeles Residents
Because Los Angeles sits in Los Angeles County, California-issued documents route through the Los Angeles Secretary of State office in Downtown LA - our courier hand-delivers directly for same-day agency submission.
If you're in Los Angeles, you have two easy options: have our Mobile Notary meet you locally to notarize and collect your documents, or use our Direct Courier ($50) and we'll come straight to you. From there we manage the entire California Secretary of State process and return everything to you with overnight tracking - no parking fees, no waiting hours or even days at a government office, no back-and-forth.
Document going to a non-Hague country? If your destination country is not listed in the HCCH Apostille Convention status table, you will need an Authentication Certificate rather than an Apostille. Contact us - we confirm the correct process for your destination.
