Apostille in North Carolina
How to Get an Apostille in North Carolina: Step-by-Step Guide
How to Get an Apostille in North Carolina: Step-by-Step Guide
Apostille is an international certificate that confirms the authenticity of documents issued in one country for use in another. In the United States, an apostille is used to legalize documents such as diplomas, marriage certificates, legal papers, and other official documents that need to be used abroad. If you live in North Carolina or plan to legalize documents for international use, this guide will help you navigate the apostille process.
Trust the process to professionals
Obtaining an apostille can be quite simple if you have the time and desire to personally go through all the steps. However, the process requires careful preparation, strict adherence to formalities, and sometimes additional certifications of documents.
If you want to save your time and avoid potential mistakes, we would be happy to take care of the entire process for you! We offer a full range of services for preparing, certifying, and apostilling documents. You just need to provide us with the documents, and we will handle everything else — from notarial certification to submitting and receiving the apostille.
If you prefer to go through the process on your own, we’ve prepared a detailed guide for you.
1. Make sure your document is eligible for apostille
Not all documents can be apostilled. For a document to be eligible for apostille, it must be official, such as:
- Birth certificates
- Marriage certificates
- Diplomas and transcripts (including education certificates)
- Notarized documents
- Court decisions and other legal documents
If your document is not official (e.g., a personal letter), it cannot be apostilled.
2. Find the right office to submit your documents
In North Carolina, apostilles are issued through the Secretary of State’s office. This office is located in the state capital, Raleigh, but you can send documents by mail if you cannot submit them in person.
Contact information for obtaining an apostille:
North Carolina Secretary of State's Office
Address: 2 S. Salisbury Street, Raleigh, NC 27601
Phone: (919) 807-2219
3. Prepare the necessary documents
Before submitting documents for an apostille, you need to complete several steps:
- Notarization (if needed): If your document has not been notarized, you must do so before submitting for an apostille.
- Fill out the application form: On the North Carolina Secretary of State’s website, you will find a form that must be completed and submitted with your documents.
- Pay the fee: The cost of an apostille in North Carolina varies depending on the type of document and the number of pages. The fee can be paid by check or money order.
- Documents to submit: Along with the application and fee payment, you will need to send the original document (or a notarized copy).
4 Submit your documents to the Secretary of State’s office
There are two ways to submit documents:
- In-person submission: You can submit your documents in person at the Secretary of State’s office in Raleigh. This will avoid waiting by mail and speed up the process.
- Mail submission: If you cannot visit the office in person, you can mail all the necessary documents. Keep in mind that this process may take several weeks.
5 Receive your apostille
Once your documents are processed, you will be issued an apostille. If you submitted documents by mail, they will be sent back to you with the apostille.
Processing times for receiving an apostille:
The process usually takes 2 to 5 business days for in-person submissions. Mailing documents may take up to 3-4 weeks, depending on workload.
6 Verify your apostille
After receiving the apostille, you can verify its authenticity through the North Carolina Secretary of State’s website to ensure that the document has been correctly apostilled.
Apostille for Business and Legal Documents
In many cases, apostilles are required for business and legal purposes. This includes contracts, company registration documents, power of attorney, and other official papers that need to be recognized internationally. If you're conducting business or involved in legal matters across borders, obtaining an apostille can ensure that your documents are accepted and legally binding in foreign countries.
Apostille for immigration documents
If you are submitting documents for immigration, it is important that they are apostilled to verify their authenticity. This applies to birth certificates, marriage certificates, diplomas, and other documents that may be needed for visa applications, obtaining citizenship, or working in another country.
How to speed up the apostille process?
If you need an apostille urgently, you can use express mail to send your documents and request expedited processing, if available. This can significantly reduce the waiting time.
Obtaining an apostille in North Carolina is an important and straightforward process if you follow all the steps and prepare the necessary documents. It simplifies the legalization of documents for international use, ensuring their recognition in other countries.
If you have any questions or need assistance in obtaining an apostille, you can always turn to the specialists, who will guide you through all the stages.

Types of Notarial Acts in North Carolina
- Basic Acknowledgment: Used to verify the identity and willingness of the signer.
- For One Person: Certifies the acknowledgment of a single individual.
- For Two or More People: Certifies acknowledgments from multiple signers on the same document.
Notarial Certificate for an Oath or Affirmation: Also known as a jurat, this certificate is used when a notary administers an oath or affirmation, certifying that the signer swears to or affirms the truth of the document's content and signs in the notary's presence.
The certificate must include:
- The state and county of the notarization.
- The name of the signer.
- A statement confirming the signer was given an oath or affirmation.
- The date of the notarization.
- The notary's signature, seal, and expiration date.
Administration of Oaths: When administering an oath, the notary requires the signer to place their left hand on a holy scripture and raise their right hand. Notaries can also provide an affirmation for those who prefer not to take a traditional oath.
In North Carolina, notaries have the authority to administer oaths of office to elected officials when no other person is designated for this role.
Verification of Proof Certificate for a Subscribing Witness: Used when a subscribing witness, who observed or acknowledges the principal’s signing of the document, appears before the notary to prove the authenticity of the principal's signature. The principal is not required to be present. This type of act is less common due to fraud risks and is not accepted by all entities, such as the North Carolina DMV.
Verification of Proof Certificate for a Non-Subscribing Witness: Used when an impartial third party (non-subscribing witness) appears before the notary to affirm that a previously executed document bears the genuine signature of the principal or a subscribing witness. The non-subscribing witness does not sign the document but must swear or affirm that they recognize the signature and are not a party to or beneficiary of the transaction. This notarial act is rarely requested and is used in specific, limited circumstances.
Statutory Certificates for Wills, Powers of Attorney, and Living Wills: Specific certificates required by North Carolina law for validating wills, powers of attorney, and advance healthcare directives to ensure compliance with state statutes.
