To have a copy of a company Resolution or Minutes apostilled in the State of California, prepare an affidavit confirming that the attached document is a true and complete copy of the original company Resolution / Minutes (Affidavit for company documents). The affidavit should be signed by a company officer and properly notarized.

California notarization requirements are strict. Make sure the notary not only signs and stamps the document but also uses a notarial statement - acknowledgment or jurat. You can also ask the notary to use California Copy Certification by Document Custodian.

Remotely notarized documents: California law requires a person to appear personally before a notary public to obtain notarial acts like acknowledgments or jurats. This means the party must be physically present before the notary public. A video image or other form of non-physical representation is not a personal appearance in front of a notary public under current California State law.

Electronically notarized documents: California notaries public are authorized under current law to perform notarizations on documents electronically as long as all the requirements for a traditional paper-based notarial act are met, including the use of a seal for all but two specific documents used in real estate transactions.

 California law prohibits notaries from certifying copies of documents.

Send a copy of the resolution / minutes and the original notarized affidavit by mail along with the Order Form and we will be happy to assist you with obtaining a California apostille.
