Answer: Yes, the San Francisco office closed last year. The only offices are in Sacramento and Los Angeles. If neither of those are close you can mail your document (if applicable) or use an apostille service company to process your document quickly.

Question: Which states attach apostille to document using a fraud-resistant method such as a ribbon and seal? I need to authenticate a US diploma for use abroad. Many authorities in Russia reject apostilles attached to the original document with a stapler. I cannot risk that possibility. I heard that all states are different in the way they attach the apostille to the document. I was hoping at least one state still uses a technique such as a ribbon and seal. It must not be possible to remove the apostille without damaging it.

Answer: WVA does when it triple seals a document that is a certified true copy. That is not going to help you. Talk to a local notary or clerk of court

Question: How long does it take to get an Apostille? I need to get an Apostille for both my birth certificate and a certified translation in Los Angeles. Does anybody know how long it will take for them to get processed (assuming they're dropped off in person at the regional office), and how will the documents be returned? Thanks

Answer: Your documents can be processed the same day. It all depends on the traffic going Downtown and the wait at the Secretary of State. They laid off a majority of their staff and their computer system has been running slow so I'd at least give yourself two hours. O, and don't forget to leave yourself time to find parking.

Question: Does the US require an apostille for a Belgian divorce decreet? My bf is going to file for a fiancee visa for me, I would like to know if my divorce decreet issued in Belgium requires an apostille, or just the translation will do it? Thank you!

Answer: I am a matchmaker, and have helped couples meet each other. Marriage and immigration, not necessarily in that order, is the next step. An Apostile is basically a signed official statement that confirms the authenticity of an (attached) original document. In essence, you are asking if it is required to ask a representative of the Belgian government to take a look at a Belgian origin divorce decree and confirm that it is an authentic document. The policy at different consulates varies. But it is rare that Apostiles are required. Should you suspect an Apostile may be required, the best course of action is to go to the website of the consulate that will be handling your case, find the email address of the visa section, and ask them directly. Only they truly know what their local internal policies may be. Perhaps you are confusing an Apostile with a Certified Translation? USCIS, and ALL consulates require, that any Non-English documents you submit, be accompanied with a Certified Translation. A Certified Translation, is basically a translation to English, that includes a signed statement from the translator "certifying" that he is a capable translator, and that he provided an Accurate translation. He is NOT certifying that the original document is authentic (which is what an Apostile does) he is only certifying that he did a good job translating.

Question: Can you use the police record check printed from the internet to get an apostille stamp? I need to get a police record check to apply for a visa to teach in Korea. Can the one you print from the internet be used or do you have to have something more "official"? Does it need to be notarized before getting the apostille?

Answer: The certificate must be issued by some official police agency or state prosecutor's or attorney general's office -- that has access to the nationwide NCIC records. You can't self issue a record check.

Question: I have a marriage certificate with an Apostille from South Carolina and I need a translation into german? Here it is.... I have a certified copy of our marriage certificiate with an Apostille from South Carolina. I now need an translation into german for that. Is a notarized translation done by a notary public sufficient for its official use in Germany? Further, does anyone know a good source where I can send the documents and have them translated and certfied/notarized?

Answer: If you are in Germany and plan on using the translation for German authorities, go to a certified translator that is registered with the local court. A translation by a notary public wont suffice. Simply go to your local "Rathaus" and ask for advice/addresses and numbers to call.

Question: How do I get an apostille seal in PA? I need an apostille on a police record report in order to get a visa to work in S. Korea. How do I go about obtaining it? I know I have to fill out the request form for the state police, and there is an additional fee above the $10 (how much?) for the police background check, but I'm not sure what else I have to do.

Answer: Ask these guys for help. It's free to answer your questions. I looked around. They're the cheapest if you have more than one document that needs to be apostille. I don't think you get the background check apostille. You have to write up something to make it legit. I remembered doing it. I asked these guys. Other apostille service facility charges $200+ for apostille, these guys are cheaper.

Question: How do I get my documents Apostille or Authenticated for China? Apostille or Athentication for China?

Answer: http://apostillepros.com/ I had to have my corporate documents apostille a few months ago, but it's not that simple for China (mainland - Republic, not Macau or Hong Kong). I got my documents rejected a few times because there are other documents required for China apostille/authentication especially if they are business documents. After a few rejections, I just sent it to a nearby apostille service agency. They know exactly what to do and they got it back to me in like 1-2 weeks because I was missing a document they had to order. The missing document was the reason why I kept getting rejected. Apostille Pros got it done without any headaches. I would use them again. You can send your documents to them or stop by their offices. If you send in, call first because there are special instructions for your documents to be accepted for china authentication. Good Luck.
