The California Secretary of State's office has announced the successful completion of its latest Apostille Pop-Up Shop event, which took place in San Diego on May 13 and 14. The event, part of the nation’s first series of apostille pop-up events, witnessed an impressive turnout with Secretary of State staff serving 441 customers and issuing 918 apostilles on the first day alone.

Secretary of State Shirley N. Weber, Ph.D., expressed her gratitude to San Diego County and County Clerk Jordan Marks for providing the space and support for this significant event. This collaboration has enhanced access to essential services for residents of San Diego.

"This kind of apostille pop-up event is a first in the nation and marks our fourth pop-up event in California," said Secretary Weber. "We are committed to making our services more accessible to all California residents, and this event is a testament to that commitment."

These innovative apostille pop-up events highlight the Secretary of State’s mission to provide accessible, efficient, and customer-friendly services to Californians. Shannon Delgado, Business Programs Division Assistant Chief and creator of the Apostille Pop-Up Shop, emphasized the importance of accessibility in delivering public services:

"We are constantly looking for new ways to bring our services to Californians. The Apostille Pop-Up Shop events allow us to do just that by partnering with different counties throughout the state. We are extremely excited to bring these critical services to different parts of the state in an effort to make them more convenient and accessible for our customers."
