Fast, white-glove document authentication delivered directly to your home, office, or high-rise suite in DTLA.
Dealing with international paperwork can be stressful and incredibly time-consuming. Whether you are finalizing a corporate financial filing in the Financial District or coordinating a dual citizenship application near historic enclaves, you cannot afford shipping delays or rejected forms.
As a commissioned California Notary Public, I handle the entire process end-to-end. I travel straight to your location in DTLA to handle the initial notarization, personally manage the authentication queue with the California Secretary of State, and securely return your completed documents to your doorstep—or ship them directly abroad on your behalf.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) for DTLA Residents
1. "Do you travel directly to corporate offices in Bunker Hill or the Financial District?"
Yes. As a mobile notary service, I save your team time by picking up documents directly from law firms, corporate headquarters, and high-rise offices throughout Downtown Los Angeles.
2. "Can you notarize documents written in Korean, Chinese, or Spanish?
Yes. Documents in a non-English language, such as Korean, Chinese, or Spanish must be accompanied by an English translation. The notary wording itself must be in English and include the California-specific language, and the signer must be able to communicate effectively or use an authorized format. For the Secretary of State, any underlying vital records must be official California-issued documents.
3. "Do you provide international document translation services?"
No, I do not provide translation services myself. My expertise is strictly focused on providing seamless notarization and apostille processing. If your destination country requires a professional translation to file your paperwork abroad, I am happy to connect you with a certified, sworn translator to ensure your complete package is compliant.

Why Clients Choose Mark
I've spent multiple summers living in London and I've been the person standing in a foreign city realizing a document needed to be notarized — and that I'd left the easy option 5,000 miles behind me.
U.S. embassies charge $50 per consular seal — and they don't issue apostilles at all. A document that needs one has to be shipped back to the state that issued it and then shipped to you again, on someone else's schedule. Who has the time?!
Getting it done in Los Angeles before you fly costs a fraction of that and takes a fraction of the time. I coordinate with you and your legal counsel, I come to you and handle the notarization, and then manage the apostille through the California Secretary of State.
Save yourself time and money, and let's get your documents ready to go before your big trip abroad!
