Riverside, CA – Join the Riverside County Assessor-Clerk-Recorder’s Office (ACR), in partnership with the California Secretary of State on Tuesday, June 18th, from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM at the Gateway Riverside office (2724 Gateway Dr, Riverside, CA 92507) for a special event providing essential document authentication services. This one -day Apostille pop-up event is designed to serve the local community by offering convenient, on-the-spot authentication, saving you time and avoiding the hassle of long trips or delays.

What Are Apostilles?

An Apostille is an official certification that authenticates the origin of public documents such as birth certificates, marriage licenses, and educational records. This certification ensures that documents issued in one country will be recognized as valid in another, facilitating international business, education, and personal transactions.

Peter Aldana, Assessor-Clerk-Recorder of Riverside County, emphasized the importance of the event: "We are continually looking for ways to improve the way we interact with our customers, making services easier and more practical to use. This pop-up event does just that by offering Apostille services right in our backyard, greatly simplifying a process that traditionally required our residents to travel significant distances."

“Partnering with Riverside County for the Apostille Pop-Up Shop event exemplifies our dedication to serving Californians, wherever they may be,” said California Secretary of State Shirley N. Weber, Ph.D., “California is the first state to offer Apostille Pop-Up Shops and it's a proud moment for us to offer these critical services.”

By providing these services locally, the event aims to reduce both the time and effort required for residents to obtain these necessary certifications. Services will be offered on a first-come, first-served basis, with no appointment needed. Participants should bring documents signed by a California public official or those requiring certification for authentication.
