If you need documents used outside of the United States, chances are you’ve heard the word Apostille—and if you haven’t, you’ve probably already felt the confusion and stress that comes with international paperwork.
At Seal of Approval Mobile Notary & Apostille Services, we specialize in helping clients in Sacramento and beyond successfully Apostille their documents the right way the first time, so you can avoid costly rejections, delays, and frustration.
This week alone, we assisted a client whose documents were headed to Spain, and we regularly process apostilles for clients all over the world.
What Is an Apostille and Why Is It Important?
An apostille is an official certification issued by the California Secretary of State that verifies a document for use in another country that is part of the Hague Apostille Convention.
Without it, your documents may be rejected overseas—no matter how important or time-sensitive they are.
That’s why working with experienced professionals matters.
Common Apostille Documents We Process
We frequently help clients apostille a wide range of documents, including:
- Birth Certificates
- Marriage Certificates
- Death Certificates
- School Transcripts & Diplomas
- Powers of Attorney (General & Special)
- Notarized Private Documents
- Vital Records
- Certified & Sworn Translations
Many clients are surprised to learn that while some USCIS immigration documents don’t require notarization, others do—and even when they don’t, proper preparation is still critical. We guide you every step of the way so nothing is done incorrectly.
Why Documents Get Rejected (And How We Prevent It)
A large portion of the apostille requests we handle involve fixing mistakes made elsewhere—such as:
- Improper notarizations
- Missing required wording
- Incorrect certificates
- Documents not prepared to Secretary of State standards
We triple-check every document before submission to ensure it meets all California and international requirements. Our goal is simple: approval the first time.
