Can a US Notary Help You From Abroad?
Yes — and it is easier than most people expect. Under New York Executive Law §135-c, a New York State commissioned notary public can notarize documents for any person, anywhere in the world, via secure video call. The signer does not need to be in the United States. The document does not need to originate in the United States. All that is required is a valid government-issued photo ID, a device with a camera, and an internet connection.
Foreign passports are accepted as valid identification for eligible remote notarization sessions. Translators and witnesses are welcome to join the video call.
Translators & Witnesses Welcome
Not fluent in English? No problem. You are welcome to bring a translator to your remote notarization session — a trusted bilingual friend, family member, or professional interpreter can join the video call to assist with communication. Witnesses required for certain documents (such as wills, powers of attorney, or affidavits) may also join the session remotely. All participants simply need a camera-equipped device and an internet connection.
Translators Welcome
Bring a bilingual friend, family member, or professional interpreter to your session. They join the same video call and help bridge any language gap — at no extra charge.
Witnesses Welcome
Documents such as wills, powers of attorney, and certain affidavits require witnesses. Your witnesses can join the video call remotely from anywhere in the world.
Any Language, Any Country
We have assisted clients speaking Spanish, French, Hebrew, Japanese, Indonesian, Portuguese, Arabic, and many more languages — always with a translator present when needed.

What Is the Hague Apostille Convention?
The Hague Apostille Convention (formally the Convention of 5 October 1961 Abolishing the Requirement of Legalisation for Foreign Public Documents) is an international treaty that simplifies the authentication of documents between member countries. A document notarized by a US notary and apostilled by the New York State Department of State is automatically recognized as legally valid in all 129 member countries — no embassy legalization required.
New York State: The United States joined the Hague Convention in 1981. New York State issues apostilles through the NYS Department of State, Division of Licensing Services.
Countries That Accept US Apostille
All 129 Hague Convention member countries accept documents apostilled by the New York State Department of State. Select your country to see specific notes.
Don't see your country? Call us — we serve clients in all 129 Hague Convention countries and can advise on non-Hague countries too.
What About Countries Not in the Hague Convention?
For countries that have not joined the Hague Apostille Convention — such as Canada, China (mainland), Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and UAE — documents typically require a more involved legalization process: notarization → state authentication → US Department of State authentication → embassy or consulate legalization. We can notarize your document and guide you through the next steps for non-Hague countries.
Same-day appointments available 24/7. $25 per document. Foreign passports accepted. No embassy visit required.
