What is a California Apostille?

An apostille is a cover page. This cover page serves as the authentication by the California Secretary of State of the seals and signatures on a document intended for use in a foreign country. The California Secretary of State will only apostille the following types of documents:

• Original paper documents notarized by a California notary public. The document must have an original wet signature and notarial stamp
• Certified and/or recordable documents issued by the State of California or California county governments. Examples: California birth and death certificates, articles of incorporation, certificates of status, corporate and LLC articles or annual reports, divorce decrees, single status affidavits, etc.
