NEW YORK APOSTILLE
Apostille Services in New York — Fast, Secure, Nationwide
New York issues apostilles through the Department of State, with offices in Albany and New York City. New York City birth certificates have a specific requirement — they need the long-form version with a Letter of Exemplification before they can be apostilled. We handle that step for you when needed.
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.

Processing Time
The New York Department of State does not publish a fixed mail-in turnaround; historically it has run several weeks depending on volume. Walk-in same-day service is available at the NYC, Albany, Binghamton, Buffalo, and Utica customer service counters.
Processing times vary and change often based on state authority volume. These are estimates only.
