What Are Articles of Organization?
Articles of Organization are documents filed with a state agency to form a limited liability company (LLC). The title varies by state: California uses “Articles of Organization,” while Delaware uses “Certificate of Formation.” Some states use “Certificate of Organization.”
We primarily retrieve certified LLC formation documents from the California Secretary of State and the Delaware Division of Corporations and obtain the appropriate apostille for international use. Documents destined for certain non-Hague countries may also require authentication and embassy or consulate legalization.
Contact us about documents filed in other states, as requirements and processing times vary.
What Is an Articles of Organization Apostille?
An apostille certifies the authenticity of the eligible state-issued LLC formation document so that it can be presented in another country. Apostilled documents may be required to open a foreign bank account, establish an overseas office, complete an international business transaction, register a subsidiary, or participate in a foreign legal proceeding.
How Do I Get My Articles of Organization Apostilled or Legalized?
Step 1: Send Us Your LLC Document Information
Pricing and processing times depend on the issuing state, destination country, services required, deadline, and return-shipping address. For an accurate quote, email info@sfnotary.com with:
Your name, telephone number, and current physical location
The certified document recipient’s name, company, delivery address, telephone number, and email address
The destination country
The LLC’s exact legal name and the state where it was formed
A clear scan of the document, if available, or confirmation that you need us to retrieve a certified copy
We will review the request and confirm the required process, price, and estimated turnaround time before work begins.
Step 2: We Retrieve, Apostille, and Deliver Your Documents
For California LLCs, we can retrieve a certified copy of the filed Articles of Organization and obtain a California Secretary of State apostille. For Delaware LLCs, we can retrieve a certified copy of the Certificate of Formation and obtain the required Delaware apostille. If the LLC was formed in another state, we will confirm whether we can assist and explain that state’s requirements.
Documents intended for countries that participate in the Hague Apostille Convention generally require an apostille. Documents intended for certain non-Hague countries may require additional state, federal, embassy, or consulate authentication. We will identify the appropriate process before work begins. Once completed, we can send you a scan and ship the original documents by FedEx Priority Overnight within the United States or FedEx International Priority to an overseas destination.
