Getting your State of New Jersey Apostille done effortlessly
Today you have unlimited access to information at your fingertips, yet sometimes when you are making a major transition and need something done, you end up going down a rabbit hole rather than simply completing the task. This can happen when you do not know you have an option to complete it without the extra time and hassle. We’re going to talk about getting your New Jersey Apostille completed with minimal effort.
An Apostille authenticates documents for international use
In this highly globalized world, people often need to use or present public documents from the U.S.A. in other countries to accomplish their academic, personal or business pursuits. When doing so, that country’s local authority may require the document to be authenticated.
This is where the Apostille comes in - an Apostille authenticates the signatures and seals of U.S. officials who signed public documents for international use. This includes public documents like birth certificates, court orders, diplomas, power of attorneys, etc.
The Apostille was first used after the 1961 Hague Convention
Prior to 1961, public documents being used internationally were authenticated through a host of processes and institutions that varied from country to country. The Hague Convention of 1961 resulted in a treaty between countries by which the Apostille could be used to abolish the complex requirements of legalizing public documents.
So, now when your document originates in a country that is a part of the Hague convention and is going to another Hague country, you will need an Apostille.
In New Jersey, the Department of Treasury prepares all Apostilles
In New Jersey, this authentication is provided by the Department of Treasury (as opposed to the Secretary of State in other states). If you have a few weeks, you can research the information specific to your document or situation and have the State of NJ complete your Apostille by mail or in person.
Even when there is time available before the document is needed in the destination country, many of our customers choose to use Bergen Pro Notary’s Apostille agent services instead so they can allocate that research and travel time to their other projects.
