How to Get an Apostille in New Hampshire

A New Hampshire apostille is a standardized certificate affixed to your state-issued or private documents, verifying their legitimacy for use in member countries of the Hague Convention. This certificate can only be obtained at the New Hampshire Secretary of State’s office in Concord.

The rules for securing an apostille are precise, and we break the process down into three logical stages: document preparation, eligibility review, and submission to the state office. Here’s what each step looks like and how we facilitate it. 

Preparing the Document for Apostille Review

Before sending anything to the government, we help you identify what type of document we’re working with. Each record comes from a different issuing authority, and different categories have unique preparation requirements. Our team divides them into four groups as follows:

• Vital records: Birth, death, marriage, and divorce certificates from the New Hampshire Division of Vital Records Administration or local city/town clerks. These must be certified copies with an official seal and signature.
• Academic documents: Diplomas, transcripts, and professional licenses from New Hampshire-accredited schools, universities, and licensing boards.
• Corporate and business filings: Articles of incorporation/organization, registrations of trade name, and certificates of existence on file with the New Hampshire Secretary of State’s office.
• Court and legal paperwork: Adoption decrees, powers of attorney, court judgments, and guardianship papers, either notarized or issued by a clerk of court in New Hampshire.

If you have any trouble ordering these documents, our experts can advise you on the best way to obtain them, whether from a public agency or a private institution. 

Confirming the Required Signature, Seal, or Certified Copy

The NH Secretary of State only authenticates documents bearing a verifiable signature or seal from a recognized state official. For publicly issued records, that means a state registrar, clerk, or deputy clerk who signed the document. They must be certified copies directly issued by the record-keeping agency. For notarized papers, the notary public must have an active commission with the state.

Submitting the Apostille Request to the Secretary of State

Once we’ve confirmed that your paperwork is properly prepared with the signature and seal in order, we’ll submit your request to the apostille office. This can be done either by mail or in person, depending on your choice of service. Specifically, our team will complete a formal request form that includes your personal information, document type, destination country, and return shipping instructions. The apostilled document will be returned directly to you, ready for use abroad.
