    New Jersey Apostille & Document Authentication

    New Jersey combines an online order with submission of the original documents. Completing payment online does not finish the document authentication.

    Prepare the right original

    Treasury’s Division of Revenue and Enterprise Services handles eligible New Jersey official signatures. Obtain an original or certified document with the original certification. Notarized documents need the original ink signatures of both signer and New Jersey notary. Order eligible vital records from the state records office.

    Complete the order and send documents

    The state portal requests contact details, document descriptions, official or notary details, payment and the return method. Print its confirmation and submit it with the documents according to the portal instructions.

    Choose timing deliberately

    Premier’s typical other-state service estimate is 5–7 business days, subject to document review, the submission route and authority availability. Shipping time is additional. Confirm timing before committing to a deadline. The portal currently lists regular processing at 12–20 business days; its selected service route must be reviewed before quoting completion.

    Frequently asked questions

    Can I remove the attached certificate?

    No. Keep the apostille or certification attached to its document.
