Do you need to apostille a California Death Certificate?
The state of California has a total of 58 Counties. Each County can issue a death certificate from the Health Department and from the County Clerk (California Counties Apostille). A death certificate issued by the Health Department and signed by a Medical Doctor will requires County Clerk authentication before the state will attach the apostille; basically a two step process. A death certificate issued by the County Clerk only requires the state apostille. Therefore, it’s important to obtain a death certificate from the County Clerk’s office.
For example, if the Los Angeles death certificate is issued by the Los Angeles County Health Department, it will need to be authenticated through the Los Angeles County Clerk’s office before the state of California will attach the California apostille. To avoid the additional step, obtain a certified copy of the Los Angeles death certificate directly from the Los Angeles County Clerk’s office.
