North Carolina

North Carolina apostilles come from the Secretary of State in Raleigh. Personal documents notarized by a North Carolina notary go straight there, no county step required. Documents that already carry a register of deeds, clerk of superior court, or Vital Records certification skip notarization entirely, since those offices are pre-approved signers Raleigh recognizes directly. Mix up which path a document needs and the whole package boomerangs.

Certified vital records come from NC Vital Records or county registers of deeds. State fee: $10. Full-service timing: one to three weeks depending on the state (call us and we’ll tell you where yours currently stands). Pricing: rates page.

Research Triangle credentials, banking documents out of Charlotte, and a large adoption caseload keep North Carolina in our top fifteen. /order/ or (212) 245-9690.
