State rules
Apostilles and notarization in New Jersey
The New Jersey Department of the Treasury, Division of Revenue and Enterprise Services, issues apostilles and certifications for New Jersey documents, with requests submitted through the state's online ordering portal.
The statutory fee is 25 dollars per document, and the online service adds a convenience fee where applicable.
Notarized documents must carry the original inked signature of the New Jersey notary public and the original inked signature of the person who signed the document before the notary.
For documents not in English, the state recommends attaching a notarized English translation, and attaching a notarized translation to a vital record results in two fees. The apostille is stapled to the document and must not be removed. Apostilles go to Hague Convention countries and certifications to all others.
For USCIS filings from New Jersey, the agency requires a certified translation with the translator's signed certification of accuracy. USCIS does not require the translation to be notarized.
New Jersey's apostille office recommends a notarized English translation for documents not in English, so translations that will travel abroad with a New Jersey apostille are commonly notarized on top of the translator's certification.
When a New Jersey receiving office asks for a notarized translation, the notary notarizes the translator's signature on the certification statement and verifies identity, not translation accuracy.

Questions
New Jersey questions
- Which USCIS field office serves my part of New Jersey?
- New Jersey has three USCIS field offices. Newark serves the northern counties, Mount Laurel serves the southern counties, and the New Jersey Central Field Office in Cranbury, opened in 2023, serves the central counties including Middlesex and Somerset. All three are appointment only.
- Which immigration courts sit in New Jersey?
- Two. The Newark Immigration Court in the Peter Rodino Federal Building hears mostly non-detained cases, and the Elizabeth Immigration Court on Evans Street hears mostly detained cases. Foreign language documents filed with either court need certified English translations.
- Who issues apostilles in New Jersey?
- The Division of Revenue and Enterprise Services in the New Jersey Department of the Treasury issues apostilles through the state's online ordering portal. The statutory fee is 25 dollars per document, and notarized documents must carry original inked signatures.
- Can New Jersey apostille my Spanish or Portuguese document?
- New Jersey apostilles authenticate New Jersey signatures, and for documents not in English the state recommends attaching a notarized English translation. If the translation is attached to a vital record, the state assesses two fees. Requirements in the destination country vary, so confirm what the receiving authority wants.
- Do I need a notarized translation for USCIS in Newark or Mount Laurel?
- No. USCIS requires a certified translation, where a qualified professional translator signs a statement attesting to accuracy and competence. Notarization is only needed when a different receiving office, such as the state apostille office, asks for it.
- Do you translate Turkish documents for New Jersey residents?
- Yes. Turkish is one of our eight supported languages, and New Jersey is home to one of the largest Turkish American communities in the country, centered in South Paterson. Turkish birth certificates, diplomas, and court records are commonly translated into English for USCIS and state agencies.
- Will Rutgers or Princeton accept translated transcripts?
- New Jersey universities generally require official transcripts and certified English translations for international records, but each admissions office sets its own rules. Confirm the exact document requirements with the university before ordering.
