Documents New Hampshire can apostille

Documents notarized by a New Hampshire notary public or justice of the peace
New Hampshire vital records (birth, death, marriage) as original notarized copies
Certificates of non-impediment (proof of single status)
Extracts from official registers
Grants of patent or other intellectual property rights
Licenses
Medical and health certificates
State criminal and police records

The issuing state is what matters, not where you live now. A document issued or notarized in another state goes to that state's office, and documents from federal agencies go to the U.S. Department of State through our federal apostille service.

Common questions

How much does a New Hampshire apostille cost through Trilogy?

Our New Hampshire apostille service starts at $355 per document. That price includes the New Hampshire government fee of $10 per document, plus courier filing, return shipping, and handling. Sales tax, if it applies, and any deposit are shown at checkout before you pay.

Who issues apostilles in New Hampshire?

The New Hampshire Secretary of State's Office. Trilogy Notary Services is a private document services company: we prepare and submit your request and track it, but the apostille itself is issued by the state office.

What does New Hampshire require before it will apostille a document?

Any public document needing an apostille or certificate must be notarized by a New Hampshire notary public or justice of the peace before it is submitted. If signed by a notary, the notary's seal must be included. We check for these before anything is filed.

Can New Hampshire apostille an FBI background check or another federal document?

No. Documents issued and signed by a federal agency, such as an FBI background check, are authenticated by the U.S. Department of State, not by the New Hampshire Secretary of State's Office. We handle those through our federal apostille service.

What if my destination country is not in the Hague Apostille Convention?

For non-Hague countries, New Hampshire issues this instead of a standard apostille: Certificate. Many non-Hague countries then require embassy or consulate legalization, which we handle through our embassy legalization service. Tell us the destination country when you book.

How long does a New Hampshire apostille take?

As published by the state when we checked on October 29, 2026: No standard turnaround stated. For in-person requests, a large number of documents may not be ready until the following business day. Add time for document preparation and shipping both ways. Government processing times change and are outside our control, so we don't promise a delivery date.
