Apostille Services at 1250 Broadway — Herald Square, New York
The 36th floor at 1250 Broadway, New York, NY 10001 overlooks Herald Square, between the Garment District, Koreatown and NoMad, with Penn Station a few minutes west. We file New York State apostilles with the NY Department of State and route federal apostilles to our Washington office for hand-delivery — including the county clerk step the state requires before it will authenticate a notarized document.
Trade Paperwork and Family Paperwork, Same Counter
Herald Square sits where two very different kinds of document work meet. On one side, the Garment District and the import-export trade: certificates of origin, supplier agreements, commercial invoices and entity records headed for a customs authority or a manufacturing partner overseas. On the other, the neighborhoods around 32nd Street, where the documents are personal — a marriage certificate for a family registry, a degree for a job in Seoul, a power of attorney for a parent’s property.
Both run through the same two systems and the same office. New York documents go to the NY Department of State; federal records are prepared here and hand-delivered in Washington by our DC team. $120 flat for federal apostilles, government fee included, and {{NY_PRICE}} for New York State apostilles.

Trade & Export Documents
Certificates of origin, commercial invoices, supplier and distribution agreements, and free-sale certificates for customs clearance and overseas manufacturing partners.
Marriage & Birth Certificates
New York State and New York City vital records for family registries, spousal visas and citizenship claims abroad. City-issued copies require a letter of exemplification first, which we obtain as part of the filing.
Degrees & Transcripts
Academic records for teaching posts, licensure and employment overseas — notarized registrar signature and clerk certification included, since the state will not act without them.
FBI Background Check
Required for most long-stay visas and residency permits, and federal rather than state — so it is prepared here and hand-delivered to the U.S. Department of State by our Washington office.
Powers of Attorney & Affidavits
Property POAs, single-status declarations, parental consent letters and sworn statements executed before a New York notary, with the county clerk certification handled.
Business Formation Records
Certificates of status, articles of organization, operating agreements and resolutions for opening an entity, a bank account or a trade account in another country.
Straightforward Whether It’s One Page or a Shipment File
A single birth certificate and an export file with a dozen exhibits follow the same three stages; only the handling behind them differs. If you are nearby, Herald Square, 34th Street and Penn Station all put you a few minutes from the lobby — and if you are not, mailed and uploaded submissions are the norm rather than the exception.

What Actually Goes Wrong, and How We Avoid It
Almost every returned New York filing fails for one of four reasons. All four are checked before anything leaves this office.
- The wrong government State documents sent to Washington and federal documents sent to Albany are both returned unprocessed. The routing call is made at intake.
- A missing clerk certification New York will not apostille a notarized document until the county clerk has certified the notary’s commission. We handle that step rather than flagging it.
- An unapostillable vital record A standard NYC birth or marriage copy cannot be authenticated as issued. The letter of exemplification is requested as part of the job.
- An apostille the destination won’t take Non-Hague countries need consular legalization. We confirm which your destination requires before you pay for the wrong certificate.
