How to Apostille a Document in New Hampshire

Why Apostille Your Document?

An apostille is an official certification that verifies the authenticity of a document for use in another country that is a member of the Hague Apostille Convention. It streamlines international document acceptance by eliminating the need for embassy or consulate legalization. Apostilles are commonly needed for marriage, birth certificates, powers of attorney, diplomas, and business documents.

What Documents Can Be Apostilled in New Hampshire?

The New Hampshire Secretary of State can issue apostilles for a wide range of documents, including:

  • Birth and death certificates issued in NH
  • Marriage and divorce records
  • Educational diplomas and transcripts
  • Corporate documents (articles of incorporation, business licenses)
  • Powers of attorney and affidavits
  • Court judgments and legal records

All documents must be certified and notarized correctly, as required by the state, before an apostille can be issued.

Apostille vs. Certificate of Authentication

It’s important to understand the difference between an apostille and a certificate of authentication:

  • An apostille is used when the destination country is a party to the Hague Apostille Convention.
  • A certificate of authentication is issued for documents destined for non-member countries and may require further legalization by an embassy.

Our team can guide you through choosing the correct process based on your document and destination country.
