Frequently Asked Questions Apostille Services in Los Angeles
What is an apostille?
An apostille is an official certificate issued by the Secretary of State that authenticates the signature and seal of a public official so documents can be recognized for use in foreign countries that are members of the Hague Apostille Convention.
What vital records can be apostilled?
Common vital records include birth certificates, marriage certificates, and death certificates issued by the appropriate government agency.
Do I need to notarize a birth, marriage, or death certificate before obtaining an apostille?
No. Certified vital records issued by the appropriate government agency are typically submitted directly for apostille processing and generally do not require notarization.
Can out-of-state birth certificates be apostilled in California?
No. Vital records such as birth, marriage, and death certificates generally must be apostilled in the state where the document was originally issued.
Can a photocopy of my vital record be apostilled?
No. Apostille requests for vital records require original certified copies issued by the appropriate government agency. Standard photocopies cannot be accepted for processing.
Can I use a scanned or digital copy for apostille processing?

Can you assist with same-day apostille processing?
Yes. Same-day apostille processing may be available for qualifying documents received early in the day and approved for same-day submission.
What does it mean if my documents are going to a non-Hague country?

Non-Hague countries may require a different authentication process involving additional state, federal, or consular legalization steps depending on the destination country and document type.
