Whether you need private legal agreements, corporate records, or vital documents authenticated, our streamlined, hands-on process ensures your paperwork is handled with the utmost security and processed correctly the very first time. Follow our simple three-step process below to launch your request.
1. Submit Your Request & Retainer
Click "Get Started" below to fill out our secure Apostille Intake Form and submit your $75 deposit. You'll upload a scan or photo of your documents so our experts can perform a digital pre-audit. This ensures your paperwork meets strict California state guidelines before we ever hit the road—saving you costly processing delays.
2. Schedule Your Delivery or Route
Once your intake form is submitted, our system instantly triggers your next steps:
-
Local Clients: You'll be redirected to our private calendar to choose a convenient day and time for us to pick up your documents (or provide mobile notarization on-site).

Mail-In Clients: You'll receive immediate instructions to securely mail your documents directly to our Sacramento processing office.
3. Fast-Tracked Processing & Return
We physically hand-carry your documents directly to the Sacramento Secretary of State counter for rapid, same-day or expedited processing. Once the state issues your official Apostille certificate, we securely return your completed documents back to you via trackable shipping or hand-delivery.
