San Bernardino County Assessor-Recorder-County Clerk Josie Gonzales proudly announces the return of the California Secretary of State Apostille Pop-Up Shop.

This special event will take place on Nov. 18, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Hall of Records, 222 W. Hospitality Lane, First Floor, San Bernardino. Free parking will be available.

An apostille, issued by the California Secretary of State, is an official certificate that certifies the authenticity of a public document for use abroad. These certificates are often necessary for international legal matters, adoptions and other formal purposes.

This essential service is usually available only at the California Secretary of State’s offices in Los Angeles and Sacramento. However, thanks to this unique collaboration, residents of San Bernardino County can now obtain this critical service locally, saving valuable time and travel.

“We’re excited to welcome the Apostille Pop-Up Shop back to San Bernardino County following the success of our first event,” Gonzales said. “This continued partnership with the Secretary of State’s office allows us to make vital government services more accessible and convenient for our residents.”
