Need an Apostille Fast? Here’s What Most People Don’t Know

If you’re trying to get a document apostilled in California, you might assume you can drop it off locally or mail it to a nearby office in the Bay Area. Unfortunately, that is not the case.
California only processes apostilles through two official offices: one in Sacramento and the other in Los Angeles. There are no apostille services available through county offices or anywhere else in the Bay Area.
⏳ The Problem With Mailing It
While mailing your document is an option, the standard turnaround time is 2-3 three weeks. If your document has even one small mistake, it could be rejected and sent back, which causes even more delays.
This becomes a real issue for people who are:
• Traveling internationally for work, school, or marriage
• Handling time sensitive legal or business documents
• Already up against a tight deadline
If that sounds like your situation, waiting for weeks may not be realistic.
A Faster and More Reliable Solution
That’s where our Rush Apostille Service comes in.
We personally will have your documents processed in Sacramento, which is about 80+ miles from the Bay Area. Once delivered, we submit them directly to the Secretary of State’s office and return them to you within just two business days.
This service eliminates the stress, the waiting, and the possibility of lost or delayed mail.
🔐 What’s Included in Our Service
• Personal delivery of your documents to the Secretary of State in Sacramento
• Careful document review to avoid rejections or mistakes
• Guaranteed two business day turnaround
• Return via secure drop off or shipping, depending on your needs

Avoid the Mistakes Others Make
Many clients come to us after weeks of confusion or delay, often because they did not realize that California apostilles are only processed in Sacramento or Los Angeles. Since neither location is local to the Bay Area, this creates a real gap in service that we are proud to fill.
By choosing our service, you are working with a local professional who understands the process and takes care of it for you from start to finish.
Let’s Get It Done Right and Fast
