Four steps from your door to legally recognized abroad
Send your documents or book a notary
Tell us what you have and where it needs to go. We confirm eligibility and, if needed, schedule a mobile or remote online notary.
We verify eligibility
Every document is checked against Secretary of State requirements before filing, so nothing is rejected at the counter.
We file at the SOS counter
Your documents are walked into the Sacramento or Los Angeles Secretary of State office and apostilled the same day when capacity allows.
Tracked return shipping
Once apostilled, your documents ship back to you — or straight to your destination — with tracking and signature, anywhere in the U.S.
Notarized right, the first time
Powers of attorney, affidavits, consent forms, and corporate resolutions must be correctly notarized before the Secretary of State will apostille them. A notarization done wrong means a rejected filing and lost days.
Mobile notary
A commissioned notary comes to your home, office, or hospital — anywhere in our service area — and notarizes on the spot.
Remote online notarization (RON)
Meet a notary over secure video from anywhere. Fast, legally valid in California, and ideal when you can't meet in person.

Apostille or embassy legalization?
An apostille is the certification recognized by the 120+ countries in the Hague Apostille Convention — including most of Europe, Mexico, and much of South America. If your destination country is not a member, the document instead needs a longer embassy or consulate legalization process. We confirm which path your country requires with your quote and handle either one.
