Three Ways to Work With Us
- Drop off downtown. Book a time and bring your documents to 1117 State St. If they need notarizing, we do it there.
- We come to you. A mobile agent and notary visits your home, office or campus.
- Mail or upload. Federal documents like FBI checks can usually be uploaded; California documents ready for the apostille can be mailed to the office.
Where to Get Certified Copies Locally
Santa Barbara County records are issued by the County Clerk-Recorder at the Hall of Records, 1100 Anacapa Street in Santa Barbara, and at 511 East Lakeside Parkway in Santa Maria. Ask for an authorized certified copy. Copies signed only by a county Health Officer, which some offices issue for very recent births and deaths, must be certified by the Clerk-Recorder before California will apostille them; we check this when you drop off.
Ventura County records come from the Ventura County Clerk-Recorder at 800 South Victoria Avenue in Ventura.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you serve all of California?
Yes. Anyone in California can mail California documents to us or upload federal documents. Mobile visits cover the Santa Barbara area, with farther trips by arrangement.

California issues apostilles only through the Secretary of State. We are a private service in downtown Santa Barbara that prepares your documents and submits them for you, including same-day service for California documents.
