Immigration Consultants

In anticipation of an increased demand for immigration consulting services, the California Secretary of State’s Office assembled this site as a resource for those seeking immigration consulting services and as a reminder of the roles and responsibilities for immigration consultants operating in California.

As the agency responsible for registering immigration consultants, the Secretary of State's Office ensures that all required paperwork is filed, background checks are completed, and that the necessary $100,000 surety bond is secured. The public may also access our special business filings page to check the status of an immigration consultant’s surety bond.
