Mail it to us.
We walk it to the counter.
Mail a document straight to the Secretary of State and it waits its turn in the state’s mail queue. Mail it to us and it goes to the Sacramento counter in person. If it reaches us in time for the counter, it is filed and back in the mail the same day. If not, it is filed and sent back the next business day.

Three steps, and the only waiting is the mail itself.
Call or email first. We confirm the document qualifies, tell you exactly what to include, and give you the address to mail it to.
The day it arrives, if it reaches us in time for the counter, we file it at the Secretary of State in Sacramento. Otherwise it is filed the next business day.
Your apostilled document goes back out the same day it is filed, tracked, to your door in the U.S. or abroad.
Why mail it to us instead of the state.
Same document, same envelope. The difference is who opens it and what happens next.
Your document never sits in the state’s mail pile. It is carried to the counter and filed in person.
A mail filing with a problem simply comes back to you, and you start over. We look first. The usual misses are a notary certificate that was not completed correctly, or a photocopy someone believed was a certified copy. You hear about it from us, with the fix, before anything is filed.
You know who has your document and where it is. Call or email any time and we reply within 2 hours.
$180 flat, state fee included, confirmed in writing before you send anything. Tracked return shipping is quoted up front. Need it in hand faster? Same-day starts at $450.
