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.
