California Apostille Process
An apostille is a certificate that authenticates the origin of a public document for use in another country. In California, apostilles are issued by the California Secretary of State.
ClosingIQ handles the entire process: upload your document, AI scans it in 90 seconds, notarize with a live notary on video, then we submit for apostille and ship directly to your destination country.
Online Submission Available
