Do you need to apostille a death certificate from the state of California?
In order to apostille a California death certificate, it must be issued by the County Clerk’s office and not the Health Department. If the death certificate is issued by the Health Department and signed by an MD, the certificate will first need to be processed through the County Clerk’s office before the state will attach the apostille (two steps).
For example, if you have a death certificate from the Los Angeles Health Department, the document will need to be authenticated through the Los Angeles County Clerks office before the State of California will attach the apostille. But, if you a death certificate from the County Clerk’s office, then the state will attach the apostille to the death certificate an no additional authentication is required.
