I have also undergone the adoption process, so I understand
how important your documents are to you!
I treat them like my own!

My fees (just increased due to March '08 gas prices) are:

$92 for 1-3 documents
$102 for 4-6 documents
$112 for more than 6 docs

Many times I will be courier-ing the same day I receive the documents and I’ll send back to you or on to the next location the same day. If I have another commitment and cannot courier on the day I receive the docs, I will let you know that it will get done the next possible day.

Fees for California Sec. of State are:

$20 per document, and $6 per public official lookup

**Explanation of the $6 fee**

The $20 is a flat per document rate. The $6 is PER PUBLIC OFFICIAL. If Mary Moore notarized 5 docs, its $20 x 5, PLUS $6 ($106) but if there were 5 different notaries it would be $20 x 5, PLUS $6 x 5 ($130)

They charge $6 for every public official they have to look up. If it is a certified doc, it’s still $6 per public official, whomever’s name is on the stamp.


My address is:

2097 Roy Ranch Way
Olivehurst, CA 95961

Phone numbers:
916.673.3472 (call 1st)
916.955.3880 (call 2nd)

It is your choice to check signature required, or signature not required on the Fedex. Please let me know if you want a signature so we can coordinate when I will be home to receive the package. I am not personally/financially responsible for envelopes left signature not required (although I have not had a problem yet with stuff being taken off my porch).

EMAIL ME FOR INFORMATION BEFORE SENDING ANYTHING!

Take a look at my printable info sheet.

Please send me ALL CONTACT PHONE NUMBERS FOR YOU!!
And:

-Cover note listing what the contents of the envelope should be (list of what docs should be inside) and what type of stamp is needed from the Sec of State.

-Signed and dated Courier Agreement

-Original document or documents

-Cashier's check or money order or personal check made payable to the California Secretary of State FILL OUT & SIGN THE CHECK AND LEAVE THE AMOUNT BLANK. I will send you the Sec. of State’s receipt. This is safer than you trying to make an exact calculation, and the check ending up being for the wrong amount.

-Check for the courier fee made payable to Stephanie Holm

-Prepaid return airbill taking into account the additional weight of the extra paper (if applicable for the delivery service). If you have a very tight-fit packet, you might want to assume the next size up envelope will be needed for the return, therefore pre-pay the airbill based on the larger envelope. Fedex is always preferred. If prepaid airbill is not enclosed, the documents will have to be held pending receipt of your fedex account number or payment from you (paypal ok) for me to pay for the airbill.
