Opening a bank account abroad, registering a branch overseas, or bidding on a foreign contract? Banks and agencies abroad usually ask for a Certificate of Good Standing with an apostille. We order it from the California Secretary of State, get the apostille and send it to you.

Already have a certified copy?
Send us a scan. If it was certified by the California Secretary of State, we can apostille it as is, with no ordering fee. Many banks and agencies want a certificate issued within the last few months, so check before you use an older one.
