What is a New Jersey Apostille?
An Apostille is an official certification issued by the New Jersey Department of the Treasury (Division of Revenue and Enterprise Services). It authenticates the signature, seal, and position of the public official or New Jersey notary public who validated your document, allowing it to be legally recognized in countries that belong to the Hague Convention of 1961.

Apostille FAQ & NJ Guidelines
How long does a New Jersey Apostille take?
Standard mail processing with the state can take 4β8 weeks. However, we offer expedited submission options to safely process your legal and vital documents in a fraction of that time.
Can you apostille copies of birth or marriage certificates?
No. New Jersey State regulations dictate that birth, marriage, and death certificates must be original certified copies issued by the local registrar or State Vital Statistics with official raised seals. Photostatic copies cannot be directly apostilled.
What is the difference between an Apostille and Legalization?
An Apostille is an expedited certification method valid only between countries participating in the Hague Convention of 1961. Non-participating countries require "Embassy Legalization" which involves multiple steps at federal and consular levels.
Can you notarize and apostille documents during the same appointment?
Yes. As a commissioned New Jersey Notary Public, I can first perform the mandatory in-person mobile notarization on your legal forms and subsequently coordinate the state-level apostille filing.
