Apostilles for a power of attorney signed in New Jersey
A power of attorney for use abroad is signed in front of a New Jersey notary, and then the state's apostille certifies that notary's signature and commission, not the document's contents. We notarize it and submit the apostille for from $150 per document plus the state fee at cost.
New Jersey's office asks for the original, or a certified copy bearing the original notarization, with the notary's original inked signature. A notarized English translation is recommended when the document is in another language.
Ways to sign

We don't draft powers of attorney or say whether a form will work in the other country. Ask the receiving office or a lawyer there. Background: power of attorney apostille guide.
Every apostille job gets a stage tracker on your request status page: received, documents checked, submitted, returned and shipped, with an email at each step.

We handle the paperwork steps only. We are not lawyers or immigration consultants, we never prepare USCIS forms, and nothing here is legal, immigration or tax advice. The receiving office decides what it accepts, so no acceptance or turnaround is guaranteed.
