Who issues NJ apostilles?
The New Jersey Department of the Treasury issues apostilles for documents originating in New Jersey — vital records, notarized documents, court records, and business filings.
Step 1: Order the right underlying document
For vital records, order a certified long-form copy from the NJ Department of Health or the local registrar. For notarized documents, use a New Jersey notary.
Step 2: County authentication when required
New Jersey doesn't typically require county authentication for standard documents, but check with the recipient for specific requirements.
Step 3: Submit to the Treasury
Requests can be mailed or hand-delivered to the Treasury office in Trenton. We can pick up completed documents locally for faster turnaround.
Translations
Non-English destinations usually require a certified translation after the apostille.
