LA Spanish Consulate Spain Student Visa Apostille?

LA Spanish Consulate Spain Student Visa Apostille?
Does anyone know if the LA consulate will accept an Apostille on FBI background reports from the Secretary of State office in LA? Or does the apostile HAVE to be from the Department of State in DC? I hope not, because my appointment in is a month. I have the background check back, but not the Apostile! yipes!

You may notarize and apostille the document in LA but you have to be very careful on how to notarize it. The document may be apostilled in DC only if it bears an official signature that can be apostilled over there, double check with the US Department of State offices.

Yes you can. I was in Laguna Beach and Huntington Beach or was it Newport Beach for the day. Apostille Pros is located in Orange County. I went to their office and they took care of the translation and apostille. The spanish consulate required translation. Everything was accepted. I highly recommend them. It was very convenient. So they do accept California Apostille, but make sure you get your documents translated as well.
