Apostille for Embassy NYC — FAQ

What is an apostille and why do embassies require it?

An apostille is a certificate issued by the NY Secretary of State that authenticates the notary's signature and commission. It is required by countries that are signatories to the 1961 Hague Convention so they can accept US-notarized documents without further authentication. Most embassies and consulates in NYC require an apostille for documents to be used in their home country.

Can I get a document notarized and apostilled the same day in NYC?

Yes. Remote Notary Online USA can notarize your document via secure video call same day, 24/7. The NY Secretary of State offers expedited apostille processing (same-day or next-day) at their NYC office at 123 William Street.

Does the apostille need to be done in New York?

The apostille must be issued by the state where the notary is commissioned. Since Remote Notary Online USA is commissioned in New York State, the apostille is obtained from the NY Secretary of State — regardless of where you (the signer) are located.

Which countries accept a New York apostille?

All 124 countries that are signatories to the 1961 Hague Convention accept a New York apostille. This includes Mexico, Dominican Republic, China, India, Italy, France, Germany, Brazil, Philippines, and most other countries with consulates in NYC.

Can I get an apostille for a document in a foreign language?

The apostille authenticates the notary's signature — not the content of the document. A foreign-language document can be notarized and apostilled. However, the receiving country may also require a certified translation. We can advise on your specific situation.

What is the difference between notarization and apostille?

Notarization is the first step — a notary witnesses your signature and applies their seal. An apostille is a second-level authentication issued by the state government that certifies the notary's credentials. Both are typically required for documents to be used at a foreign embassy or consulate.
