Apostille from the New Hampshire Secretary of State

New Hampshire-issued public documents — birth, marriage, and death certificates, notarized affidavits, and state agency records — are apostilled by the New Hampshire Secretary of State for use in Hague Convention countries. NotarySeal apostille agents file, track, and courier your documents so you don't lose weeks to the mailroom.

Federal documents and embassy legalization

Federal documents (FBI background checks, IRS letters, FDA certificates) require the US State Department's Office of Authentications in Washington, DC. For destinations not in the Hague Convention — UAE, China, Saudi Arabia, Vietnam — full embassy legalization is required. NotarySeal New Hampshire apostille agents handle both the state path and the federal/embassy path with courier service to skip the queues.
