New York document checks before submission
New York Department of State authenticates public documents issued in New York and signed by a New York official or county clerk. Local or county vital records generally need certification from the county clerk where issued; records issued by the New York State Department of Health with the state registrar signature can go directly to the Department of State. For a New York City birth or death certificate, request a Letter of Exemplification when ordering the record.
A New York notarized document needs county clerk certification of the notary’s signature. Federal documents, including FBI background checks, go to the U.S. Department of State instead. Do not notarize a federal record before that review.
The New York government fee is $10 per document, separate from APB’s service fee and return shipping. New York accepts mail and walk-in requests at designated offices; processing depends on the route and current volume, so we confirm timing before you pay. Check the New York Department of State’s current instructions.
