California Apostille Services by City
Local apostille support for every city in California. The route, timeline, and fees are the same from San Diego to Crescent City because every California document is authenticated by one office — the California Secretary of State in Sacramento.
How city apostille service works in California
California apostille is a statewide process. You do not need to live near a specific office, drive to Sacramento, or hand-deliver anything. Wherever you are in California — Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego, San Jose, Sacramento, Fresno, Long Beach, Oakland, or any smaller city — the workflow is identical: prepare the document correctly, send it to us, and we handle notarization coordination, submission to the California Secretary of State, and return delivery.
The California Secretary of State charges $20 per apostille. Notarized documents also require a California notary, which typically costs $15 per signature. County-issued vital records (birth, marriage, death certificates signed by a County Clerk or Recorder) can be submitted directly. Records signed only by a local Health Officer usually need a certified copy from the California Department of Public Health first.
