What is an apostille?

Apostilles authenticate the signature, seal, and/or stamp on public documents such as a birth certificate, death certificate, or state or government-issued photo identification. It is verified and certified by the state, the United States, or the originating country, so the document can be used legally in countries other than the one where it was issued.

Apostilles are also used to certify private documents notarized by a notary public, such as a personal will, power of attorney, or articles of incorporation, which must be notarized before an apostille can be issued.

Foreign-use document legalization used to be extremely complex, time-consuming, and varied greatly between countries, but the 1961 Hague Convention Treaty streamlined and simplified the process. Countries that do not participate in the convention must authenticate documents in accordance with their own rules and laws.

Reasons to Authenticate a Driver’s License or Passport

In some cases, you need an apostille for a foreign country to recognize the authenticity and authority of legal documents you want to use abroad.

Some common ways to use an apostille on a passport or driver's license are the following:

• Opening a bank account in a different country

• Purchasing foreign property

• Conducting international business

• Driving a car or obtaining a foreign driver’s license

The Apostille Request Process

An apostille certificate can be requested by any individual, business, or organization in the San Francisco Bay Area. The document must be verified by the state's office. The process involves sending your document to the Secretary of State in California (or to the originating state's SOS) to be authenticated with an official State apostille stamp or certificate. 

To obtain an apostille certificate, each document must be:

• An original or certified copy (according to each state’s rules on the Apostille process)

• Notarized by a Public Notary in the same state you are applying for the apostille

• Submitted to the department of state or federal government for Apostille

• Submitted to the Secretary of State with the completed state-specific apostille application and any required filing fees (per document)

Vital records, such as birth and death certificates, need an apostille from the state. This must be done in the same state where the certificate was issued. For example, if your birth certificate is issued in California but you live in Idaho, you must apply for a California apostille.
