Request Apostille ServiceWhat Is an Apostille?
An apostille is an official certificate issued by a government authority that authenticates the origin of a public document so it will be recognized in another country. It is required under the Hague Apostille Convention, which has been adopted by over 120 countries worldwide.
If you need to use a U.S.-issued document abroad — for immigration, education, business, or personal matters — an apostille confirms that the document is genuine and was issued by a recognized authority. Without it, foreign governments, courts, and institutions may refuse to accept your documents.
BDB Services handles the entire apostille process on your behalf, from notarization (when required) through submission to the California Secretary of State and return of your authenticated documents.
