School Document Notarization
San Francisco Bay Area

Notarization for Every Education Need

From kindergarten enrollment to college study-abroad programs, school documents often require a notarized signature before they are accepted.

Need an Apostille Too?

If your school document is heading overseas — for a foreign university, an international employer, or a government visa office — it may need an apostille in addition to notarization. An apostille certifies the notary's credentials for use in countries that are members of the Hague Convention.

Signed Sealed Delivered Closings handles both steps: we notarize your document and guide you through the California apostille process, or handle the full apostille submission on your behalf. Ask us about bundled notarization + apostille service for maximum convenience.

Frequently Asked Questions

What ID do I need to bring?

A valid government-issued photo ID — driver's license, passport, or state ID — for any adult signer. We follow all California notary law requirements for identity verification.

Can you notarize a copy of a transcript?

Yes. We can notarize your signature on a statement that a copy is a true and correct copy of the original. Note that official certified transcripts must be obtained directly from the issuing institution — we cannot certify the content itself.

How quickly can you come?

We offer same-day service in most Bay Area cities. Contact us in the morning and we can often be there that afternoon or evening.

Do I need an apostille for my international school documents?

If the destination country is a member of the Hague Convention, yes — an apostille will be required after notarization. We can walk you through exactly what's needed for your specific situation.

Can you notarize parental consent forms if both parents need to sign?

Absolutely. We can notarize forms with multiple signers as long as all parties are present together with valid ID.
