California Apostille Document Guides

Use this directory to identify the document family, then start the guided intake or open one of the live California apostille guides below.

How to pick the right guide

California apostille preparation depends on the document type, signer, issuing office, destination country, and foreign purpose. Vital records, court records, private notarized documents, school records, business records, professional licenses, and federal documents are not prepared the same way.

Every document name below links to its published California guide. If your document is not listed, request Full Service and a specialist will confirm the correct route for it.

Completed California guides

Vital & Family Records

Birth, marriage, death, divorce, domestic partnership, and personal-status records often support immigration, marriage, residency, school, benefits, and civil registry matters abroad.

Court Records

Court records need careful review because the selected order, judgment, letters, or case record has to match the exact foreign purpose.

Notarized Private Documents

Powers of attorney, affidavits, consent letters, authorization letters, and similar private documents are usually built around signer identity, authority language, and destination-country use.

Academic & School Records

Diplomas, transcripts, enrollment records, verification letters, and student records are reviewed differently depending on admission, licensing, immigration, employment, or credential-review use.

Corporate & Business

Corporate filings, resolutions, agreements, trade records, licenses, and compliance records need company names, filing details, authority language, and destination-country purpose to line up.

Professional Licenses

Professional license packets often involve license copies, verification records, board status, education records, and foreign credential-review requirements.

Federal Documents

Federal records such as FBI background checks follow a different route from California-issued or California-notarized documents.

Other Documents

Documents outside the main groups still need to be matched to the signer, source, destination country, and intended foreign use.
