Whether you need to use your documents abroad for immigration, marriage, education, employment, business, or legal purposes, many countries require an apostille or authentication before they will accept a U.S.-issued document.
At Oakland Oriental Group, we provide fast, professional, and cost-effective apostille and authentication services for individuals, families, and businesses. We handle the process from start to finish — saving you time, hassle, and unnecessary travel.
An apostille is a government certification that verifies the authenticity of a document for use in countries that are part of the Hague Convention.
If the country you’re submitting your document to is a member of the Hague Convention, you will need an apostille.
If the country is not part of the Hague Convention, you will need document authentication + consulate legalization instead.
We handle a wide range of personal, professional, and business documents, including:
If you are unsure which type of authentication you need, we can help you determine the correct process.
We are bonded and registered Legal Document Assistants and Immigration Consultants in California and Alameda County — with years of experience handling apostilles and document authentications for clients around the world.
We prepare, submit to the SOS, pick up, and return your documents quickly and professionally.
Flat fees. No hidden charges. You know the total cost before we begin.
From notarization to Secretary of State submission, we manage the entire process so you don’t have to deal with long lines or confusing government requirements.
If you’re unsure which one applies, we will check for you.
Typical timelines:
We will provide an estimated timeline based on your documents.
If your document needs notarization before authentication, we handle it on the spot.
Since November 7, 2023, China Consulate legalization is NO LONGER required for most U.S. public documents because China Has Joined the Hague Apostille Convention.
Starting November 7, 2023:
This has made the process much faster, simpler, and less expensive for anyone submitting U.S. documents in China.
Each state issues its own apostille. Our office can assist only with public documents issued in California, or with declarations and affidavits that are signed and notarized in California.
Getting started is easy.
