NEW JERSEY APOSTILLE

Apostille Services in New Jersey — Fast, Secure, Nationwide

Whether you're moving abroad from Newark, applying for dual citizenship out of Jersey City, or handling a corporate filing from Paterson, New Jersey-issued documents need to be apostilled by the New Jersey Department of the Treasury before they'll be accepted overseas. We handle the full process end-to-end. New Jersey apostilles are handled by the Division of Revenue and Enterprise Services (DORES) — not the Secretary of State — a structural detail that trips up many people using out-of-state templates.

From $150 / document State fees + U.S. shipping included

Service fee includes state filing fees and U.S. domestic return shipping via 2-day FedEx (UPS used for federal documents only). International return shipping available for an additional fee.

STATE AUTHORITY

New Jersey requirements to know

Documents must bear the signature of a New Jersey notary public or an eligible New Jersey public official (e.g., Superior Court judge, county clerk, State Registrar of Vital Statistics).
The Division cannot issue Apostilles or certifications for vital records from other states — those must be authenticated in the state of origin.
Requests are placed and pre-paid online (njportal.com/dor/apostille) with a confirmation page that must accompany the original documents submitted by mail or in person.
A separate online request must be made for each destination country, and non-English documents should include a notarized English translation (which will incur an additional apostille and fee).

Once you have the eligible document, GFG can review it, coordinate the apostille process, and arrange tracked return shipping. Additional certification requirements may apply depending on how the document was issued.
