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.

Questions
Connecticut questions
- Who issues apostilles in Connecticut?
- The Authentications and Apostilles unit of the Connecticut Secretary of the State in Hartford issues apostilles. Since September 2, 2025 all orders go through the state's online apostille application. Regular orders take about 5 to 7 business days and expedited orders are processed in 24 hours. Confirm current fees and timing with the office before you order.
- Does USCIS require my translation to be notarized in Connecticut?
- No. USCIS requires a certified translation, which means a signed statement from the translator attesting that the translation is complete and accurate and that the translator is competent to translate. Notarization is not a USCIS requirement. If a Connecticut court or agency asks for notarization, confirm that requirement directly with the receiving office.
- Which USCIS office handles interviews for Connecticut residents?
- The USCIS Hartford Field Office in the Ribicoff Federal Building at 450 Main Street in Hartford serves Connecticut. USCIS assigns your interview location, so always follow the address on your appointment notice.
- Is there an immigration court in Connecticut?
- Yes. The Hartford Immigration Court sits in the Ribicoff Federal Building at 450 Main Street in Hartford and is operated by the Executive Office for Immigration Review. Foreign language documents filed with an immigration court generally must be accompanied by a certified English translation.
- Do internationally educated nurses in Connecticut need certified translations?
- Connecticut's Department of Public Health requires foreign trained nurse applicants to complete the CGFNS International Certification Program before taking the licensure exam. CGFNS asks for English translations of records issued in another language, so certified translations usually enter the process at the CGFNS stage. Check the current CGFNS document rules before you submit.
- Can you translate Portuguese documents for use in Connecticut?
- Yes. Portuguese is the second most common non-English language in Connecticut, with large Brazilian and Portuguese American communities in Danbury and across the state. Eagle Translate provides certified English and Portuguese translation in both directions at 24.95 dollars per page, delivered in 2 to 3 business days with a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy.
