New York Documents & Requirements — Handled for You
We assist with apostille requests for a wide range of New York-issued documents, including birth certificates, marriage certificates, death certificates, divorce certificates, diplomas, academic transcripts, powers of attorney, affidavits, background checks, notarized documents, court documents, and business or corporate records. We serve customers throughout New York, including New York City, Brooklyn, Queens, Bronx, Staten Island, Albany, Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, Yonkers, and other cities statewide.
Apostilles for New York-issued documents are issued by the New York Department of State. New York only authenticates public documents issued in New York State that are signed by a New York State official or county clerk.
Certain documents, such as New York birth, marriage, and death certificates, may need county clerk certification before they can be submitted for apostille. New York explains that birth, death, marriage certificates, and certificates of divorce issued by a local or county official must first be certified by the county clerk of the county where the document was issued.
New York State Department of Health birth, death, and marriage certificates bearing the signature of the Director of Vital Statistics or NYS Registrar may be submitted for apostille without county clerk certification. New York City birth and death records may also require a Letter of Exemplification and certification by the New York County Clerk before apostille submission.
For documents that require notarization, the document must be properly notarized and then certified by the county clerk of the county where the notary is certified to notarize. We review notarizations carefully to confirm they meet state requirements.
If you are unsure whether your document qualifies or how it needs to be prepared, we review your documents in advance and guide you before submission to help prevent delays or rejections.
