New Jersey Secretary of State Authentication and Apostille Services 518-956-5673

Self-Service Guide for Notarization and Authentication by the Secretary of State of New Jersey

There are two types of authentication by the Secretary of State: Apostille and Certificate of Authentication. Apostille, also known as "Hague Authentication," can only be used within member countries of the Hague Convention. Since Chinese consulates are currently not part of the "Hague Convention member countries," only the "Certificate of Authentication" can be submitted to Chinese consulates in the United States.
