Birth Certificate Apostille

As a trusted mobile notary and apostille agent in Turlock, one of the most common requests I receive is for help with apostilling birth certificates. Whether you're adopting internationally, applying for dual citizenship, teaching abroad, starting a new job overseas, or handling foreign business matters, many countries require a certified birth certificate with an apostille for legal recognition.

𝗧𝗼 𝗯𝗲 𝗮𝗰𝗰𝗲𝗽𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗮𝗽𝗼𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗲, 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗯𝗶𝗿𝘁𝗵 𝗰𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗺𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗯𝗲:
• An original certified copy
• Signed by the Court Registrar or the appropriate authority from the state where it was issued

Photocopies and scans will not be accepted. If you have misplaced your birth certificate, you can order a replacement through your local County Registrar or online at Vital Checks.

Note that some birth certificate applications may require notarial certification.

You must send your birth certificate to the Secretary of State in the state where you were born.

For instance, if you were born in Nevada, your birth certificate must be sent to the Nevada Secretary of State's office. Each state only apostilles documents that it has issued.

Depending on your specific needs or the country requesting the documents, you may also need to apostille:
• Marriage or divorce certificates
• Power of attorney
• School transcripts or diplomas
• Background checks
 

The process can vary—some countries require just one step, while others involve multiple steps or embassy legalization. Every case is different.

At Cali State Notary & Apostille, I offer free document reviews to ensure your paperwork is eligible for an apostille.

If your document was notarized by someone other than me, I will verify that it is properly formatted and ready for processing.

As a mobile notary and apostille agent serving Turlock, California, and surrounding areas, I make the process easy and convenient, meeting clients at their homes, offices, or local coffee shops to ensure the job is done right.
