Embassy legalizations

Apostille for Los Angeles documents

California-issued public documents are apostilled by the California Secretary of State for use in Hague Convention countries. NotaSealPros apostille agents in Los Angeles pick up your documents, file, track, and return them by courier — no lost weeks to the mailroom.

Federal documents and embassy legalization

Federal documents (FBI background checks, IRS letters, FDA certificates) require the US State Department in DC. For destinations outside the Hague Convention — UAE, China, Saudi Arabia, Vietnam — full embassy legalization is required. Los Angeles agents handle both paths.
