Why living in California doesn’t change the route

This document is issued by Drug Enforcement Administration, a federal authority. Federal documents are authenticated only by the U.S. Department of State in Washington, D.C. — the California Secretary of State in Sacramento has no authority over them, and a state apostille on a federal document will be rejected abroad.

So the process for California residents is the same as for anyone else in the country: get the document to us, we hand-deliver it in Washington, and it comes back ready to use.

Fresno: the local details

Fresno is in Fresno County, within the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of California. California state documents are apostilled by the California Secretary of State in Sacramento.

About the DEA Registration

How to apostille a DEA registration certificate for pharmaceutical export and practitioner licensing abroad.

Authentication isn't authorization. An apostille proves your registration document is genuine. It does not authorize international shipment of controlled substances, which requires separate permits.
