- Saint Paul Field Office, Minneapolis, Minnesota. North Dakota has no USCIS field office of its own. Every North Dakota ZIP code is assigned to the Saint Paul Field Office at 250 Marquette Avenue, Suite 710, Minneapolis, MN, per the USCIS field office locator data file dated August 6, 2026.
State rules
Apostilles and notarization in North Dakota
The North Dakota Office of the Secretary of State in Bismarck issues apostilles for countries in the 1961 Hague Convention and certifications for all other countries.
The fee is 10 dollars per authentication plus a 5 dollar record search fee for each unique notary signature being authenticated.
Documents must either be notarized by a North Dakota notary public or be a certified copy of an official North Dakota document before the Secretary of State can authenticate them.
Requests are usually processed within 3 business days when the paperwork and payment are complete, excluding mailing time.
School records have extra requirements, including a notarized acknowledgment page and official documentation signed by school authorities.
USCIS does not require notarized translations from North Dakota applicants. Federal rules ask for a certified translation, meaning the translator signs a statement of accuracy and competence. Eagle Translate includes this signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy with every order.
If a translated document will receive a North Dakota apostille for use abroad, the translator's signed statement must first be notarized by a North Dakota notary public, because the Secretary of State only authenticates documents notarized in the state or certified North Dakota records.
North Dakota notarial law follows the Revised Uniform Law on Notarial Acts and the state permits remote online notarization, so a translator certification can be notarized without an in-person visit.

Questions
North Dakota questions
- Who issues apostilles in North Dakota?
- The North Dakota Office of the Secretary of State in Bismarck. It issues apostilles for Hague Convention countries and certifications for all others. The fee is 10 dollars per authentication plus a 5 dollar record search per notary signature, and requests are usually processed within 3 business days. Private documents must first be notarized by a North Dakota notary public.
- Is there a USCIS field office in North Dakota?
- No. USCIS assigns every North Dakota ZIP code to the Saint Paul Field Office in Minneapolis, Minnesota, so any in-person interview or naturalization appointment normally means a trip to the Twin Cities. Most filings and evidence, including certified translations, are submitted by mail or online, so an all-online translation service works the same anywhere in the state.
- Which immigration court hears North Dakota cases?
- North Dakota has no immigration court. Cases for North Dakota residents are generally heard at the Fort Snelling Immigration Court in the Minneapolis area of Minnesota. Confirm your assigned hearing location on your notice, since assignments can change.
- Does USCIS require notarized translations in North Dakota?
- No. USCIS requires certified translations, not notarized ones. The translator signs a certification of accuracy and competence, which Eagle Translate provides as a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy. Notarization only enters the picture for other uses, such as preparing a document for a North Dakota apostille, so confirm requirements with the receiving office.
- Can you translate old German records common in North Dakota family archives?
- Yes. German to English is one of our eight supported language pairs, and German-language church, civil, and immigration records are common in North Dakota because German is the state's largest ancestry group. A qualified professional translator reviews and approves every certified translation before delivery.
- How much does a certified translation cost in North Dakota and how fast is it?
- 24.95 dollars per page of 250 words, delivered in 2 to 3 business days with a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy. The service is 100 percent online, which fits a state where the nearest USCIS field office is out of state.
