What is an Apostille?
An Apostille, pronounced as "ah-po-steel," originates from the French term for certification.
An Apostille is a specialized certificate issued by the Secretary of State that is attached to your original document to confirm its authenticity and legitimacy, ensuring its acceptance in countries that are members of the Hague Apostille Convention.
HAGUE VS NON HAGUE COUNTRIES
In 1961, many countries joined together to create a simplified method of authenticating documents for universal recognition. Members of the conference, referred to as the Hague Convention adopted a document referred to as an Apostille that would be recognized by all member countries.
There are two categories of destination countries: those that are part of the Hague Convention and those that are not. Apostilles can exclusively be obtained for countries within the Hague Convention. If your intended destination falls outside the scope of the Hague Convention, it is categorized as a non-Hague Country. In such cases, authentication is required through the U.S. Department of Justice in Washington D.C. and/or embassy legalization for the specific country. If you are unsure what the process if for your specific document, give us a call.

Jonathan Tran
Founder & Owner of Notary Pin, Inc.
Meet the Owner:
Hi, I’m Jonathan Tran — founder of Notary Pin, Inc. I’m a California native, born in Mountain View and raised in San Diego, where I earned my degree from San Diego State University.
I launched Notary Pin to make finding a professional, reliable notary fast and easy. Today, with over 100,000 mobile notaries nationwide, we’ve expanded to serve thousands of clients — including those needing apostilles.
While living abroad in Colombia, I experienced the apostille process firsthand — and all the confusion, delays, and rejections that can come with it. That’s when my business partner and I built the service we wish we had: fast, clear, and stress-free.
Here’s what most people don’t realize: apostilles usually aren’t done at notary offices. They require mailing documents to state or federal agencies — and we’ve streamlined that process from start to finish.
Whether you're in California or overseas, our U.S.-based team is here to help. We’ll keep you informed, respond quickly, and make sure your documents are handled with care — every step of the way.
Let us pin down the perfect apostille solution — so you can move forward with peace of mind, not paperwork.
