Ship eligible documents to Book CA Notary for hand delivery at the Sacramento state office.

Permanent state office and temporary event options
The nearest permanent in-person California Secretary of State Apostille office for Merced is in Sacramento. The state also accepts mail requests and schedules temporary pop-up events at changing locations. Check the official event listing before planning around an event. Book CA Notary offers a separate private courier route to Sacramento for requests it accepts; this does not alter state requirements or timing.
For families, funeral homes, and employers
A request may involve a vital record, a death certificate for international use, estate paperwork, a power of attorney, education records, or business documents. For vital records, confirm the exact record and issuing authority with the recipient. Other documents may require different preparation depending on the source and signature. A document’s type alone does not establish eligibility.
Spanish-language assistance
Mary speaks Spanish and can explain the courier process to Spanish-speaking customers. This is service assistance, not certified translation. Confirm translation and destination-specific requirements with the foreign recipient or appropriate authority.
