The Bergen County Clerk's Office

Apostille or State Seal

On occasion you may encounter a document that requires an Apostille, or State Seal, which attests to the legal status of the document and authenticates the signatures of notaries and some public officials, such as Judges, County Clerks, and the State Registrar of Vital Statistics. An Apostille can only be applied to a document by the New Jersey Department of Treasury. If you need an Apostille on a document that you have notarized, send the original document to the address below. Processing time is usually two to three weeks. The cost is $25.00 per certificate. If the documents are to be used for the purpose of adopting a child, the fee is $5.00 per certificate.

NJ Division of Revenue
Notary Public Unit
P.O. Box 452
Trenton, NJ 08646

If expedited service is needed, you may personally deliver or send the document, using any overnight courier service, to the address below. There is an additional $15.00 fee per certificate for expedited service.

Notary Unit
NJ Division of Revenue
33 West State Street, 5th Floor

Note: If you need a vital record such as a birth, death or marriage certificate that has been issued by the State of NJ and bears the State Seal, please contact the NJ Dept. of Health & Senior Services at (609) 292-4087 or by visiting their website.
