Manhattan Mobile Notary & Apostille Service can also provide the professionalism, reliability and reasonable fees you're looking for to manage all your New York/Manhattan notary authentication and apostille needs within New York County (Manhattan).

When a legal document is being sent to a foreign country, it may be necessary to authenticate the notary's signature before the documents will be accepted in that country. If the country is part of the Hague Convention system for legal documents, the notarized document must be brought to the New York County Clerk's office to authenticate that the notary's signature and seal on the document were valid at the time of the notarization. The New York Secretary of State's office must then review the document and, if approved, will attach a state certificate and seal as the final step. A similar state certification is provided for non-Hague Convention participants. It can often take several hours to complete this two-step process. Manhattan Mobile Notary & Apostille Service can handle this service for you within New York County (Manhattan) and can quote you a fee based on your specific needs.

The typical fee for picking up the notarized documents (or notarizing the documents as well for an additional $2 per document) within Manhattan, processing the documents at the New York County Clerk and NY Secretary of State offices and returning the apostilled documents to you is $175 (which includes all county and state fees). Reduced fees can be arranged by dropping off pre-notarized documents (notarized by a notary with New York County commission) or picking up the completed documents at a drop-off/pickup location in the Union Square area of Manhattan. Additional apostilles are provided for an additional $35 per document. Documents can be Fedexed back to a location in the U.S. for an additional $35-50 (depending on the weight of the document and whether Overnight Priority, Standard, or 2-Day is chosen). International shipment prices will need to be quoted individually.

Manhattan Mobile Notary & Apostille Service can also manage the process of having documents authenticated at Manhattan-New York embassies and consulate offices. There is a trip fee of $40 (per trip), plus an hourly rate of $50/hr. for this service.
