New Jersey State Document Apostille

What is an apostille and when do I need one?

An apostille is a certification that authenticates a document for use in another country that participates in the Hague Apostille Convention. NJ state-issued documents — like a NJ birth or marriage certificate, or a document notarized in NJ — need to go through the New Jersey Department of the Treasury for this certification. We help you prepare and submit the request correctly.

When do you need this?

  • Using a NJ birth or marriage certificate abroad
  • A document notarized in New Jersey
  • A diploma or transcript from a NJ school
  • Power of attorney or business documents for use overseas

What's included

  • Review of your document and eligibility for apostille
  • Preparation of the apostille request
  • Guidance on submission to the NJ Department of the Treasury
  • Certified translation, if the destination country requires one

Frequently asked questions

How long does an apostille take?
Processing time depends on the New Jersey Department of the Treasury's current workload — we'll let you know what to expect, including any expedited options.
Does the destination country accept apostilles?
Most countries do, since they participate in the Hague Apostille Convention — for countries that don't, a different authentication process (legalization) applies. We can help you confirm which applies to your situation.
My document isn't from New Jersey — can you still help?
If it's a federal document (like an FBI background check), see our federal document apostille service. For documents from other states, message us and we'll point you in the right direction.
