Hand it to us.
It comes back done,
wherever you are.
One person handles your file from the first call to the tracking number: eligibility checked before any fee, filed in person in Sacramento or hand-carried in Washington, translated and legalized if your destination needs it, delivered to you in Milan, Dubai or Marin. You never stand in a line, and you never have to fly back for paperwork.
Rated5.0 · 19 Google reviewsTell us how fast, and we take it from there.
Same person, same checks, same tracking either way. The only thing that changes is how quickly it is in your hands.
A flight, a consulate slot, a closing, a court filing.
- We drive it to Sacramento and file it in person, same business day when the counter allows.
- Need a notary first? Add it for $100 in the same visit.
- Ships the day it comes back, tracked, to wherever you are.
You have a few weeks and would rather not think about it.
- Mail it to us, or have the county send the certified copy straight here.
- Same eligibility check before any fee: the mail track rejects for the same reasons.
- Filed and returned tracked, usually 2–4 weeks.
You hand it over
Drop it at 416 Bryant, mail it, book a Bay Area pickup, or have the county ship it straight to us while you stay where you are.

Issuing office, signature on file, certification date, what your destination actually accepts. Problems surface here, with a fix, not at a counter.
within 1 business dayWe file it in person

same day · or 5–7 by mailIt arrives, done
Translated and legalized if needed, then tracked delivery to wherever you are, with a message the moment it ships.
tracking number the day it shipsWhy one person, not a portal: the counter rejects documents for reasons a form never catches. Someone who has stood in that line reads yours before the fee is paid.
Call (415) 439-0289The four calls we get most. One of them is probably yours.
Each one starts the same way: you tell us what you are holding and where it has to go. We tell you the price before anything starts, then it stops being your problem.
Flight tomorrow, consulate Monday, closing that cannot move. We drive it to the Secretary of State counter and file it the same business day when the counter allows. Need a notary first? Add it for $100 in the same visit, so nothing waits on a second appointment.
Have the county send the certified copy to us. We do everything on this side and ship it to your door abroad, tracked. Updates by WhatsApp if you prefer.
If your document would be rejected, you hear it from us first, with the fix, before anyone takes a fee.
Consulates and non-Hague countries want translated, legalized sets. You give us the destination; we assemble the whole packet. Translation: Quoted per document by page and language before anything starts; delivered certified with a signed certificate of authenticity.

“There were very large firms that I didn’t want to go with because of service and found Dante and his company. I am so lucky I did. […] If you’re looking for a boutique firm, that will handle your important documents with extra care and excellence and service, this is your place.”
David J · Local Guide · filed from Greece“Dante was on call for the documents being ready, even getting them from my friend after 10PM so he could get them to Sacramento first thing and expedited to Europe. They were able to get the document done and shipped within 24 hours of them being available.”
Lindley Winslow · UC Berkeley PhD“The process involved multiple documents, lawyers in two countries, and a lot of bureaucratic back and forth. Dante stayed on top of everything, kept me and my lawyers updated on where things stood, and was always straight with me about timelines. […] If you need apostille services, go with Dante!”
Saidislom Israilov · corporate documentsWhat it costs to make it our problem.
Flat · state fee included · confirmed in writing before we start · because one person drives it, files it and stands in the line for you
