Apostille is a French word meaning certification. It is commonly used in English to refer to the legalization of a document for international use under the terms of the 1961 Hague Convention Abolishing the Requirement of Legalization for Foreign Public Documents.  Documents sent to member nations, completed with an Apostille at the State of CA level, may be submitted directly to the member nation without further action.

 

The Apostille simplifies the legalization process by exempting documents certified with the Apostille at the State level from any additional certification by a higher authority such as the U.S. Department of State or foreign consulate.  Members of the conference adopted a document referred to as an Apostille that would be recognized by all member nations.

Documents sent to non-member nations requiring a Certification of the signature of the state's public official at the state level, then must be transmitted to the Authentication Office of the Department of State in Washington, D.C. for the Authentication of the State Official's signature.  For more detailed information on the Apostille or Certification process you may visit the Secretary of State website. 

 

Fees for California Apostille service start at $165.00 for local residents.  Price does not include fees charged by the County Clerk or the Secretary of State.  Cost will vary based upon extra services requested by client.
