How SPA apostille service works
1. We review your draft SPA or extra‑judicial document.
You can text or email a copy of your Special Power of Attorney or extra‑judicial deed so we can confirm if it needs to be notarized in California and which apostille office will handle it.
2. Mobile notarization in Los Angeles.
A commissioned mobile notary meets you at home, work, a café, or another convenient location in Los Angeles County to verify ID and properly notarize your SPA or extra‑judicial document.
3. We obtain the apostille and return your documents.
After notarization, we submit your documents for a California apostille and coordinate return delivery to you or directly to your contact in the Philippines, depending on your preference.
Processing times and fees depend on the state that issued the document and any deadlines you have. We will give you clear options before you book. For urgent cases, see our same-day apostille service.

Philippines SPA apostille FAQ
Do I need a Philippine consulate, or is a U.S. apostille enough?
A properly notarized and apostilled SPA is often accepted in the Philippines without additional consulate authentication, but some situations still require consular notarization. We can review your instructions and let you know which path fits your case.
Can you use my SPA template from the Philippines?
Yes. You can bring the template provided by your attorney or family in the Philippines. We will check that the notary section meets California requirements and suggest any adjustments before your appointment.
How long does a SPA apostille take?
Timing depends on the Secretary of State processing times and whether you choose standard or rush service. When you contact us, we will ask about your deadline and offer options so you know what to expect.
Can you meet multiple signers or witnesses?
Yes. We can arrange appointments with multiple signers and required witnesses in one visit, or coordinate separate visits if needed, as long as identification and document rules are met.
