The California Secretary of State provides Apostille authentication of public official signatures on documents to be used outside the United States of America. The country of destination determines whether the authentication is Apostille or Certification/Legalization. If the destination country is a member of the Hague convention, the authentication process is an Apostille and for Apostille requests, there are only two Secretary of State offices in California; Los Angeles and Sacramento.
For those countries not members of the Hague convention, additional steps are required for authentication. The steps include State Certification, U.S. Department of State certification, if required, and Embassy or Consulate legalization.
