Abstract
A door latch apparatus closes a door of a vehicle by, when a striker and a latch are in a first engagement state, shifting the striker and the latch into a second engagement state through an effective operation of an output lever by driving an actuator. When the shift of the striker and the latch into the second engagement state is restricted, the output lever is allowed to perform a retracting operation by driving the actuator.
