Philippine Special Power of Attorney (SPA) — Reference & Mobile Notary Los Angeles

If you already know you need a Philippine Special Power of Attorney and have (or will have) a completed form, we can notarize your signature on it as a California Notary Public. This page links to the sample template published by the Philippine Consulate General Los Angeles so you can find it more easily.

We Are Notaries, Not Attorneys

Mobile American Notary & Apostilles is not a law firm. We do not provide legal advice, do not recommend which form you need, do not tell you how to fill it out, do not explain what your options mean, and do not review completed forms for accuracy. This page is a directory that links to authoritative source materials. If you have any question about which form to use or how to complete it, please consult a licensed California attorney. When your form is filled out and you are ready to sign, we can notarize your signature as a mobile Notary Public across Los Angeles, Orange, and Ventura Counties.

Where to Get the Form

The Philippine Consulate General Los Angeles publishes the authoritative sample forms. We also mirror the files as a courtesy.

What the Statute Says

We do not explain, interpret, or summarize the requirements of a Philippine Special Power of Attorney on this page. If you have any question about whether an SPA is the right instrument, how to complete it, or how it will be received in the Philippines, please consult a licensed attorney or contact the Philippine Consulate General Los Angeles directly.

The primary authoritative sources are linked above. Our role begins only once your document is completed and you are ready to sign it in front of a California Notary Public.

The above is a paraphrase of publicly available statutory text and is provided for factual reference only. It is not legal advice or a legal opinion. For any question about how the statute applies to your situation, consult a licensed California attorney.

Frequently Asked Questions

The answers below describe our notary service and cite publicly available statutory or agency information. They are not legal advice. For questions about which form to use, what to write in it, or how the statute applies to your situation, please consult a licensed California attorney.

Do you notarize Philippine SPAs?
Yes. Once your SPA form is filled out and you are ready to sign, we can notarize your signature as a California Notary Public. We come to you across Los Angeles, Orange, and Ventura Counties, including hospital bedside signings.
Can you Apostille the notarized SPA afterward?
Yes. Once we notarize the SPA, we can route it to the California Secretary of State for an Apostille. Turnaround varies by workload at the LA Regional Office and the Sacramento office. See our Apostille Los Angeles page for current turnaround.
Can you help me fill out the SPA?
No. Under California law, a notary may not draft, complete, or advise on the content of a document. If you have questions about which acts to authorize, how to describe the property, or which options apply to your situation, please consult a licensed attorney or the receiving institution in the Philippines.
Do multiple family members sign in one visit?
Yes, we frequently notarize signatures for multiple family members in a single visit (for example, siblings authorizing an SPA together). Each signer must present a valid, unexpired, government-issued photo ID and must sign in front of the notary.
Do you notarize Philippine SPAs at hospitals or care facilities?
Yes. Hospital bedside notary service is one of our regular offerings across Los Angeles, Orange, and Ventura Counties. See our hospital notary page for how bedside signings work.
Do you provide the notary certificate wording?
We attach the California acknowledgment or California jurat wording you specify. Which wording is required for your document is a legal question — please confirm with your attorney or the receiving institution before your appointment.

Reminder: The information on this page is a factual reference (statutory citation and links to authoritative source materials) — it is not legal advice, not a legal opinion, and not a recommendation as to which form to use or how to complete it.
