Santa Ana Hosts One-Day Apostille Pop-Up Shop on October 23
The Orange County Clerk-Recorder’s office is set to host a one-day Apostille Pop-Up Shop on October 23 at the County Administration South Building in Santa Ana. This event, which runs from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., is a collaborative effort between Clerk-Recorder Hugh Nguyen and the California Secretary of State, aiming to provide residents with accessible apostille services.
No appointments are necessary for this event, and services will be offered on a first-come, first-served basis. The purpose of the Apostille Pop-Up Shop is to accommodate the high demand for apostille services in the community, as highlighted by Clerk-Recorder Hugh Nguyen.

Importance of Apostille Services
An Apostille is an essential certification that verifies the authenticity of various documents needed for international use. Common documents that may require an apostille include birth certificates, death certificates, marriage licenses, educational records, military documents, and business-related documents. By providing this service locally, Nguyen aims to alleviate the burden on residents who would otherwise need to travel to Los Angeles or submit requests by mail to Sacramento, saving them both time and money.

Residents can also direct questions to the department’s information line at (714) 834-2500, which operates during regular business hours from Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., excluding holidays.
