They lost our Apostille and are refusing to help find it. It’s really devastating that they don’t want to help for such important documents.

I requested a couple of Apostilles, which should have been delivered within 2 weeks after that. Four weeks later I contacted them and was told I should wait some more as they were backed up. Six weeks later I called again and was told that my documents had been sent out on week three but "unfortunately" they had written the wrong delivery address on the mail sent out and my official documents got lost. Beware, their services are "unfortunately" incompetent, at your loss. Update: I received the documents 11 weeks later, both my name and my address were spelled wrong…

How long does it take to get results back from Secretary of State of California from live scan

Shelley Johnson | Sep 18, 2018
Randy R | Sep 17, 2020

My understanding is you don't get results back unless they are negative. I've never received anything back from a Live Scan other than notice from the requesting agency (licensing or employer) that they've moved forward.

My sister who also resides in Sacramento will do an apostille for the same document. Do we have to pay a separate $20.00 fee each for an apostille?

You can dissolve your LLC by filing both a Certificate of Dissolution (Form LLC-3) and Certificate of Cancellation (Form LLC-4/7). However, if all members (owners) of an LLC choose to dissolve, you need only file a Certificate of Cancellation (Form LLC-4/7).
