Apostille Questions, Answered
Everything you need to know before getting your documents apostilled. Still have questions? Call (951) 435-2888.
What is an apostille?+
An apostille authenticates the public official’s signature, official capacity, and seal or stamp where applicable. It does not verify the contents of the document or guarantee acceptance for every purpose. The receiving authority determines its requirements.
Do you serve customers in all 50 states?+
Yes. We provide nationwide apostille services for documents issued in all 50 states and eligible federal documents. You do not need to live in Moreno Valley or visit our office.
Can you process documents issued in a different state from where I live?+
Yes. Customer location does not determine which government authority processes the document. The issuing state, notarization jurisdiction, federal agency and document requirements determine the appropriate submission process.
Do I need to visit your Moreno Valley office?+
No. Mail-in apostille service and remote document review are available. We can discuss your documents and provide instructions without an in-person appointment.
How does mail-in apostille service work?+
First request a review and quote. We explain document-specific requirements and provide submission instructions before you mail documents. We coordinate submission to the appropriate government authority and discuss return shipping options and tracking.
Can I email a copy for preliminary review?+
Yes. An emailed copy may help us assess preliminary requirements and prepare a quote. It does not necessarily replace the original or certified copy required by the issuing authority. Contact us for review instructions.
Will I need an original document or certified copy?+
Requirements depend on the document and authority. An original or an official certified copy is often required, especially for vital records. We provide document-specific instructions before you submit anything.
Can you assist with federal documents such as FBI background checks?+
Yes. We assist with eligible federal documents, including FBI background checks, through the appropriate U.S. Department of State process. Federal processing times and requirements differ from state requests.
How are processing times and return shipping handled?+
California apostille turnaround depends on document readiness, the submission method, government processing, and shipping. We confirm an estimated timeline after reviewing your documents. Shipping and government processing are separate stages. Your quote identifies the return shipping method, cost, and tracking availability. Other-state and federal timelines vary. Completion and delivery dates are not guaranteed.
Can you apostille a notarized document?+
Eligible notarized documents may qualify, but the appropriate authority depends on the notarization jurisdiction and document requirements. A document notarized in another state does not automatically qualify for a California apostille. We review the notarization and required submission authority.
What types of documents can be apostilled?+
Common documents include birth, marriage and death certificates, powers of attorney, diplomas, transcripts, corporate documents, adoption paperwork, court documents and FBI background checks. Eligibility and required originals or certified copies depend on the document and authority.
How much does an apostille cost?+
Fees depend on the document, issuing authority, processing requirements and return shipping choices. Request a document-specific quote before submission.
What countries accept apostilles?+
Apostilles are used for destination countries participating in the Hague Apostille Convention, including the examples listed on this page. Confirm the receiving authority’s requirements for your specific purpose. Countries outside the Convention may require authentication or legalization instead.
What’s the difference between an apostille and authentication/legalization?+
An apostille is used for documents going to countries participating in the Hague Apostille Convention. Other destinations may require authentication or legalization, potentially involving additional government and embassy steps. Contact us with your document and destination country so we can confirm whether we can assist.
Do my documents need to be translated?+
Translation requirements and the order of translation and apostille processing depend on the receiving authority’s requirements. An apostille does not include translation. We can assist with certified translation after reviewing the document and destination requirements.
Can translated documents be apostilled?+
Eligibility depends on the document, translation certification, notarization jurisdiction and destination requirements. We review the appropriate process rather than assuming every translation can receive an apostille.
