State rules
Apostilles and notarization in North Carolina
Apostilles are issued by the North Carolina Secretary of State's Authentication Office at 2 South Salisbury Street in Raleigh. The office does not process apostilles online.
The fee is 10 dollars per original document, and 10 dollars for each duplicate.
The office authenticates North Carolina documents only. An out-of-state document must be apostilled by the state where it was issued.
A document in a language other than English must include a certified or notarized English translation, and the English translation must carry a wet original signature rather than a copied or digital one.
The office authenticates a wide range of records including birth and marriage certificates, diplomas, school transcripts, powers of attorney, and corporate documents, and returns documents by the prepaid envelope or courier label the requester provides.
USCIS itself does not require notarized translations for North Carolina filings. It requires a signed certification of accuracy from a qualified professional translator, so notarization matters only when a specific receiving authority asks for it.
For the North Carolina apostille chain, the Secretary of State requires the English translation of a foreign-language document to be certified or notarized and to bear an original wet signature.
Private documents such as powers of attorney enter the North Carolina apostille chain through notarization by a North Carolina notary before the Authentication Office will act on them.
