New York's extra step
catches everyone

New York apostilles have a quirk most states don't: many documents — notarized papers and NYC vital records among them — must first be authenticated by the county clerk of the county where the notary is commissioned or the record was issued, and only then can the NY Department of State affix the apostille. Skip the county step and your submission comes straight back. Navigating this two-stage chain is precisely what you're paying us to know.

NYC-issued birth and marriage certificates, NYS court records, notarized powers of attorney, and school documents each enter the chain differently — we route each correctly the first time.

From the five boroughs
to the world

New York documents travel everywhere, but common New York apostille destinations include the Dominican Republic (property, inheritance, and civil matters), Italy (jure sanguinis citizenship through NY-born ancestors), Spain, Colombia, and Ecuador. Each destination's registries expect translation of document plus apostille — Spanish or Italian — and we deliver the finished, destination-ready packet in one order.

Your questions,
answered

Still unsure? Message us on WhatsApp — we reply in minutes.

What is an apostille, exactly?▾

A certificate issued under the 1961 Hague Convention that authenticates a U.S. public document so foreign authorities accept it as genuine — required for using U.S. documents in 120+ member countries.

How much does it cost?▾

From $95 per document including handling; your exact quote covers state fees and mailing before you pay anything.

Do I need a translation with my apostille?▾

Usually yes — most destination countries require their language. We translate the document and the apostille page itself, sequenced the way your destination requires.

Why was my NY apostille rejected when I tried myself?▾

Almost certainly the missing county clerk authentication — NY's two-step chain is the most error-prone in the country. We route it correctly the first time.

Can you apostille NYC birth certificates for Italian citizenship?▾

Yes — jure sanguinis document packages (with Italian translation) are a New York specialty of ours.

Do you handle both NYC and upstate documents?▾

Yes — all 62 counties, each with its own clerk authentication logistics, handled end to end.
