Rules monitored daily

We track Secretary of State, USCIS, embassy, and Hague Conference updates every day.

All 50 states + DC

Hague apostille and non-Hague embassy authentication, routed to the correct authority.

Verified for 2026

Every page fact-checked against current Secretary of State, USCIS, and Hague Conference rules, re-checked quarterly.

Standards we follow

Compliant with the rules that actually get documents accepted

Hague Apostille Convention (1961)

Apostilles issued for member countries; embassy legalization routed for non-member destinations.

State Secretary of State rules

Each filing follows the issuing state's current fee schedule, form requirements, and accepted document formats.

Vital records sourced from the state

CA birth, marriage, and death certificates come from CDPH — never the county recorder — so they're accepted for apostille on the first submission.

Notary-compliant document prep

Notarizable forms are sent blank, per state law — you fill in the facts and sign in front of a notary, then we handle the apostille.

Apostille Services in Fresno, California

Fresno sits roughly in the middle of California — Sacramento and Los Angeles are both about 3 to 4 hours away by car, so neither is a same-day round trip. For most Fresno residents and Central Valley agribusinesses, mailing the document to us is faster and cheaper than driving to either Secretary of State office.
