North Carolina Documents & Requirements — Handled for You
We assist with apostille requests for a wide range of North Carolina-issued documents, including birth certificates, marriage certificates, death certificates, divorce documents, diplomas, academic transcripts, powers of attorney, affidavits, background checks, notarized documents, court documents, and business or corporate records. We serve customers throughout North Carolina, including Charlotte, Raleigh, Greensboro, Durham, Winston-Salem, Fayetteville, Cary, Wilmington, Asheville, and other cities statewide.
Apostilles for North Carolina-issued documents are issued by the North Carolina Secretary of State Authentication Office. The Authentication Office provides authentication services for North Carolina documents that will be used in foreign countries.
Certain documents, such as North Carolina birth, marriage, death, court, and other government records, must be official certified copies before an apostille can be applied. North Carolina also requires original seals and signatures, and certifications must follow in chronological order.
For North Carolina school documents, a school seal by itself is not enough. Diplomas, transcripts, report cards, and other school documents issued by a North Carolina school must be notarized by a North Carolina Notary Public before apostille submission.
For documents that require notarization, the document must be properly notarized by a North Carolina notary public before it can be submitted for apostille. 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.
