The copy type matters
Certified copy or plain-paper certification?
New Jersey distinguishes between certified vital records and certifications. Certified copies are legal documents printed on state safety paper and carry the issuing office’s raised seal. Certifications are printed on plain paper, are generally intended for genealogy and are not valid for legal purposes.
For apostille use, the vital record must also bear the appropriate State Registrar or Assistant or Deputy State Registrar signature. PRONTO reviews the record before confirming the service.
Do not rely on appearance alone. A record can display official information and still be the wrong copy for international use. Send us a clear image first so we can identify a likely issue before you mail the document.
Before you mail the document
Common reasons New Jersey documents need correction
Wrong vital-record copy
A plain-paper certification, hospital certificate, ordinary photocopy or genealogy record may not qualify for legal use.
Missing registrar signature
An apostille-bound vital record needs the appropriate State Registrar or Assistant or Deputy State Registrar signature.
Photocopied signatures
New Jersey-notarized documents generally need the original ink signatures of both the signer and the New Jersey notary.
Incomplete notarization
The notarial certificate, venue, date, signature, stamp and wording must be complete and eligible for authentication.
School record not prepared
A diploma or transcript may require a statement from the appropriate school official and qualifying notarization.
Wrong state route
New Jersey cannot apostille a public record issued by another state; the document’s state of origin controls the process.
How PRONTO’s service works

State and federal routes are different
New Jersey documents stay on the New Jersey route.
New Jersey public records and New Jersey-notarized documents are authenticated through the New Jersey Department of the Treasury. They are not sent to the U.S. Department of State for a federal apostille.
An FBI background check is a federal document and follows a separate process. Tell us what issued your document and where it will be used so we can identify the correct service.
The destination country still matters. New Jersey issues an apostille for a Hague Convention destination and a certification for qualifying documents going to other countries. Additional embassy or consular steps may still apply.
Price and timing
Confirmed after document review
Total price and timing depend on the document, its current preparation, the number of documents, destination country and return shipping. PRONTO reviews those details before confirming the order.
Eligibility review
We look for copy-type, registrar-signature and notarization problems before submission whenever possible.
Current processing estimate
You receive the current service estimate after we understand the document and destination.
Tracked delivery
Completed documents can be returned to a confirmed U.S. or international address with tracking.
Frequently asked questions
New Jersey apostille questions
Which New Jersey documents can PRONTO process for an apostille?
Common eligible documents include New Jersey birth, marriage and death certificates, diplomas and transcripts, powers of attorney, court records, notarized documents, certified business records and other documents bearing a qualifying New Jersey public official or notary signature.
Can PRONTO apostille my New Jersey birth or marriage certificate?
Yes, when it is an eligible certified copy bearing the required State Registrar or Assistant or Deputy State Registrar signature. Send us a clear image so we can review the version you have.
Is a New Jersey vital-record certification acceptable for an apostille?
A plain-paper certification is generally intended for genealogy and is not valid for legal purposes. Apostille-bound vital records require an eligible certified copy with the appropriate official signature.
Can a New Jersey diploma or transcript be apostilled?
Yes, when the educational document is prepared correctly with the required school official signature and qualifying notarization. PRONTO reviews the document before processing.
Can a New Jersey power of attorney be apostilled?
A power of attorney properly signed and notarized in New Jersey may qualify. The original signer and New Jersey notary signatures must be present and the notarization must be complete.
Can PRONTO apostille New Jersey corporate documents?
Yes, when the business record is an eligible certified public document or has been properly signed and notarized in New Jersey. Send us the document type and destination country for review.
Do I need to travel to New Jersey?
No. PRONTO provides nationwide mail-in assistance. Start by sending us a clear image, then mail the qualifying original or certified document using our instructions.
How long does it take and how much does it cost?
The total depends on the document, current preparation, number of documents, destination country and return shipping. Contact PRONTO for the current estimate and complete price.
