Our San Francisco Apostille Service Offerings
Red Carpet Notary offers clear, focused apostille solutions designed for the needs of our San Francisco clients, covering both documents processed within California and those requiring federal authentication:
Federal Apostille Service (U.S. Department of State)
Essential for documents issued by U.S. Federal agencies requiring international recognition. We facilitate the apostille process through the U.S. Department of State in Washington D.C. for San Francisco clients needing authentication for FBI Background Checks, IRS documents (like Form 6166 certifications), Certificates of Naturalization, FDA/USPTO documents, and other federally issued papers.
California Apostille Service (State Level)
This service is tailored for documents originating or notarized within California needing validation for use in Hague Convention countries. This commonly includes California vital records (birth, marriage, death certificates), court orders, university diplomas/transcripts from CA institutions, or private documents properly notarized by a California Notary (e.g., Powers of Attorney, Affidavits). We manage the submission directly with the California Secretary of State on your behalf.
Demystifying Apostilles in San Francisco
What is an Apostille? Think of it as an international notary seal. Governed by the Hague Convention, an Apostille is a certificate attached to your document by an authorized government body (like the Secretary of State). It verifies the authenticity of the signature, the capacity of the signer (e.g., Notary Public, County Clerk), and the seal on the document, allowing it to be legally recognized in other Hague member countries without further legalization.
Common reasons San Franciscans need apostilles include:
Establishing business entities or partnerships abroad
Applying for residency, visas, or citizenship in another country
Facilitating international adoptions or managing overseas estates
Registering patents or intellectual property internationally
Authenticating educational documents for work or study overseas
The process involves verifying your document's eligibility, ensuring it's correctly certified or notarized, and submitting it to the appropriate authority – the California Secretary of State (via Sacramento) or the U.S. Department of State. Red Carpet Notary simplifies this entire procedure for you.
