Apostille in New Jersey, handled end to end.
An apostille authenticates the seal and signature on a New Jersey document so it's accepted abroad under the Hague Apostille Convention. In New Jersey, apostilles aren't issued by a Secretary of State — they come from the Department of the Treasury's Division of Revenue and Enterprise Services in Trenton, under the Great Seal of the State.
New Jersey's rules catch a lot of people: a vital record has to carry the State Registrar's signature — a copy from your local town registrar, valid everywhere else, is rejected for an apostille. Getting the right copy the first time is what keeps a filing moving.
We prepare, submit, and track your New Jersey apostille from start to finish — obtaining the correct state-issued record and handling the Trenton submission — in person at our two San Diego offices or by secure, tracked mail from anywhere in New Jersey.
One partner for every New Jersey document
State or federal, we route each document to the right authority the first time — and handle the county certification, notarization, or translation it needs along the way.
New Jersey requirements
What New Jersey documents need first.
Every document type has its own rule in New Jersey. Getting it right the first time is what avoids a rejection and a second wait.
Vital records need the State Registrar — not your town
A New Jersey birth, death, or marriage certificate must be a certified copy from the State Office of Vital Statistics and Registry, signed by the State Registrar or a deputy. A copy from a local or municipal registrar is rejected for the apostille, even though it's valid for everything else — and it has to be requested for apostille use when you order it. We obtain the correct copy for you.
Notarized documents
A power of attorney or affidavit notarized by a New Jersey notary goes straight to the Division of Revenue — no county step — but it must carry the original inked signatures of both the notary and the person who signed. We notarize your document correctly for you.
Corporate records — the Standing Certificate
New Jersey's proof of good standing is the Standing Certificate, issued by the Division of Revenue under the State Treasurer's seal. Because it's state-issued, it goes straight to apostille. We obtain it and apostille it together.

New Jersey apostille questions, answered.
How much does an apostille cost in New Jersey?+
It depends on the document and how fast you need it. In New Jersey, apostilles come from the Division of Revenue & Enterprise Services — not a Secretary of State — and the certified copy or notarization is a separate input. You get a flat, all-in quote before any work begins, with no hidden fees.
Who issues apostilles in New Jersey?+
New Jersey doesn't use a Secretary of State for apostilles — they're issued by the Department of the Treasury's Division of Revenue and Enterprise Services in Trenton, under the Great Seal of the State. We handle the submission for you.
Why was my New Jersey birth certificate rejected for an apostille?+
Almost always because it was issued by a local or municipal registrar. For an apostille, a New Jersey vital record must be a state copy from the Office of Vital Statistics and Registry, signed by the State Registrar — and it has to be requested for apostille use. We order the correct state copy for you.
Does a New Jersey notarized document need a county step?+
No. A document notarized by a New Jersey notary goes straight to the Division of Revenue — but it must carry the original inked signatures of both the notary and the person who signed. We notarize your document correctly for you.
Is my FBI background check apostilled in New Jersey?+
No. FBI background checks are federal, so they're apostilled by the U.S. Department of State in Washington, DC — not by New Jersey. We handle that federal route in the same order.
Can I get a New Jersey apostille from San Diego?+
Yes. We serve all of New Jersey — Newark, Jersey City, Trenton, Edison, and beyond — by secure, tracked mail, and you're welcome at either of our two San Diego walk-in offices.
