Filing locally
Where Bridgeport filings are handled
Your certified translation is delivered as a PDF you file yourself, so it works with every office below. Nothing needs to be picked up and there is no local counter to visit, because the whole service is online.
USCIS field offices
- Hartford Field Office, Hartford, CT. USCIS's field office lookup assigns every Bridgeport zip code (06601 through 06610) to the Hartford Field Office at 450 Main Street, Hartford CT 06103. The serving office is in Hartford, not Bridgeport. Interviews and appointments are by notice only, and mailed filings usually go to a national lockbox listed in the form instructions.
Immigration courts
- Hartford Immigration Court, Hartford, CT. Connecticut's only immigration court, at 450 Main Street, Room 628, Hartford CT 06103. There is no immigration court in Bridgeport, so Bridgeport respondents appear in Hartford. Hearing notices list the assigned court.
State rules
Apostilles and notarization in Connecticut
Apostilles are issued by the Authentications and Apostilles unit of the Office of the Secretary of the State, located at 165 Capitol Avenue, Suite 1000, Hartford.
Since September 2, 2025 the office accepts orders only through its online apostille application at sots.service.ct.gov/apostille. Paper order forms are no longer accepted.
Regular orders are processed in about 5 to 7 business days. Expedited orders and e-apostilles are processed in 24 hours.
Documents must be originals or certified copies, notarized by a Connecticut notary or certified by a Connecticut official, with the notarization or certification made within the last 10 years and carrying an original signature or seal.
Connecticut began offering electronic apostilles, called e-apostilles, on July 6, 2026. An e-apostille is not valid if printed and is not available for vital records such as birth certificates.
The standard authentication fee is 40 dollars per document, with 90 dollars per document for expedited service.
USCIS does not require notarized translations from Connecticut applicants. Federal rules ask for a certified translation, meaning the translator signs a statement attesting to accuracy and competence. Notarization is a separate step that only some non-USCIS offices request.
For a Connecticut apostille, a private document must be notarized by a Connecticut commissioned notary, and the notarization must have been made within the last 10 years.
When a Connecticut notary notarizes a translator's signed accuracy statement, the notarization confirms the identity of the signer, not the quality of the translation. The certification itself comes from the qualified professional translator.
