"The NY Apostille Authority"
We Specialize in New York Apostilles for NYC Birth Certificates, Marriage Certificates and Death Certificates as well as Adoption, Power of Attorney, Education and Business Documents
Phone: 917-693-3692
We have extensive experience obtaining apostilles for New York birth certificates, marriage certificates, and death certificates as well as adoption, power-of-attorney, education and business documents and copies of identification (where we notarize a statement ID owner).
Our company's proven track record of providing reliable, knowledgeable service since 2003 gives our clients peace of mind. There are no call-center representatives with headsets taking or passing on your information or bike messengers handling your sensitive documents. One licensed NY Notary Public and Apostille Agent handles your documents from start to finish to eliminate any communication or hand-off errors. Our notaries are qualified in NY County.
The process can be completed either the same day, the next day or in 2-3 days (see fees below).

Here's how it works...
The 4-Step NY Apostille Process:
1) NY Apostille and Notary Services reviews your apostille needs over the phone or email and confirms the fee and timeframe.
NOTE FOR BIRTH, MARRIAGE & DEATH CERTIFICATE APOSTILLES: All NYC birth, marriage and death certificates must be the long-form version (8-1/2 x 11") and birth and death certificates must be accompanied by what is known as "a Letter of Exemplification" issued by the NYC Department of Health or vitalchek.com. NYC Marriage Certificates must be certified by the NYC City Clerk at the Marriage Bureau (with an original signature on the reverse side). See section below on the ordering of the actual NY birth, marriage or death certificates.
2) Once the details and schedule are approved, we will meet if a NY notarization is required or you prefer to meet in person versus shipping the documents to us. We will provide you with our shipping address once your document are approved for processing. We will need to know the day and time we will receive the document.
3) NY Apostille and Notary Services will take your legal documents through the notary authentication and apostille process.
4) Your apostilled documents are returned to you by dropping them off by hand or we can FedEx or UPS them to you if you can provide us with a paid self-addressed FedEx or UPS airbill, account number or credit card number.

ORDERING NYC BIRTH, MARRIAGE AND DEATH CERTIFICATES
We can only order certified NYC marriage certificates for you. We do not have the authority to order certified birth or death certificates and the accompanying Letter of Exemplification.
To obtain the certified marriage certificate for the apostille, we would need to meet in person to notarize a letter that authorizes us to do this for you (and would need a copy of your marriage license). There would be an additional charge of $100 for this additional service as long as it is part of the NY apostille process noted above ($150, if needed sooner than the 48- to 72-hour timeframe). This includes the city's $35 fee.
You can order the certified long-form birth or death certificate and letter of exemplification in person or by mail through the NYC Department of Mental Hygiene at 125 Worth St. in Manhattan. You can paste the following NYC web address into your internet address bar for more information: http://www.nyc.gov/ html/doh/html/vr/vrbappl.shtml on how to order birth and death certificates.
If an apostille is your objective, be sure to check off "apostille" or write "apostille" in the top corner of the birth and death certificate application if ordering in person or by mail from the NYC Dept of Health. Be sure to also check off "yes" when asked "whether you need a letter of exemplification" and write "extended long form birth certificate" at the top of the application when ordering in person at the NYC Department of Health. You can often expect to wait for over an hour standing on a line if you order the NYC certified birth and death certificates in person (and you receive the documents by mail 10-14 days later, not there). You should also know that the NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene sometimes refers to the Certified Long-Form Birth Certificate as the "vault" copy.
You can also order NY birth and death certificates online through Vitalchek, a partner of the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene and the Office of the City Clerk, either at vitalchek.com or by calling 1-877-854-4481. Be sure to check off "apostille" on the Vitalchek.com website when they ask for the "reason for ordering the certificate."
Using either of these two methods takes at least 10-14 days for the NY certified birth or death certificate and Letter of Exemplification to arrive in the mail. These two organizations do not provide the apostille; they simply provide you with the correct documents that are needed to then obtain an apostille, which we can help you with.
If you are ever in need of a California apostille for a California birth certificate, marriage certificate, or death certificate, or a power-of-attorney, education, ID copy, or business document, contact California Apostille Agents at caapostilleagents@gmail.com or call 310-995-8225.
