What is an Apostille?

  • An Apostille is a certificate that authenticates California public officials’ signatures on documents intended for use outside of the United States. 
  • Examples of documents include birth certificates, marriage certificates, single status certificates, educational records, and more. 
  • Typically, individuals seeking in-person Apostille services must travel to the California Secretary of State’s offices in Los Angeles or Sacramento, or they may mail their request to the Sacramento office. 

To ensure a smooth experience, please bring the following:

  • A document signed by a California public official or an original notarized and/or certified document. Photocopy is not acceptable. 
  • A completed Apostille Pop-Up Shop Request Cover Sheet found at:

  • California Secretary of State processing fee is $20 for each apostille document, along with a $6 special handling fee for every public official’s authentication signature. Payments for apostille services can be made using Visa, Mastercard, checks, or money orders. No cash accepted.
  • Notary public services will be available on-site from the OC Clerk of the Board office for $15 per signature and paid for by personal check or cash only. Make check payable to the County of Orange.
