APOSTILLE ON A TRANSLATION

We can get you an Apostille on our translations or you can get one yourself. The Apostille is based on the signature of the notary public who witnessed the signature of the translator. The signature of the notary public is on file at the Court Clerk's Office (For NY County the court clerk's office is in the basement at 60 Center Street). When you (or we) present the notarized translation at the court clerk' office, the notary's signature is verified and an authentication slip is provided that must be presented to the nearby NY Department of State  to obtain an Apostille.

Our in-house notary is qualified in New York County. To obtain an Apostille you first go to have the Notary’s signature verified:

COUNTY CLERK’S OFFICE
60 Center Street Room 161 (basement)
New York, NY 10007 646-386-5955

There, you are given authentication slip which you then take to the NY Department of State to get the Apostille:
