Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) for El Monte Residents
1. "Can you pick up documents near Valley Boulevard or El Monte City Hall?"
Yes. As a mobile service, I save you a trip down to the state office by traveling directly to your home, local business, or office anywhere in El Monte to securely notarize and collect your files.
2. "Can you handle documents written in Spanish or Vietnamese?"
Yes. Documents in a non-English language, such as Spanish or Vietnamese, 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!
