Apostille for California Business Documents
Apostille for the bylaws, registry records, resolutions, and other documents of a company registered in California. $120 per document, state fee included, ready in 1-3 business days.
Documents we handle
- Records from the California business registry: a certificate of status or a certified copy of your company's registration.
- Bylaws or an operating agreement, and other formation documents.
- Resolutions and minutes signed before a California notary public.
- Powers of attorney issued by the company to a representative abroad.
Two routes
Documents issued by the California Secretary of State are apostilled directly, since they already carry a state official's signature.
Internal company documents are first signed before a California notary public, and the apostille goes on the notary's signature.
What we need from you
- A scan of the document, so we can tell which route it takes.
- The country where it will be used.
- Where to send the finished documents.
