Concord is where New Hampshire apostilles are issued
This page is about Concord, the capital of New Hampshire, not the cities of the same name in California or North Carolina. Being the capital matters for paperwork: the Secretary of State’s apostille desk is in Room 204 of the State House at 107 North Main Street, so a Concord resident can hand documents in rather than mail them.
The office accepts in-person apostille requests Monday through Friday from 8:00 am to 4:15 pm. The fee is $10 per document, paid in cash or by check payable to the State of New Hampshire. Large quantities may not be ready until the following business day, and bringing 10 or more documents in person adds a $25 expedited fee for every 10.
What the apostille desk will and will not take
- Notarized documents. They must be notarized by a New Hampshire notary public or justice of the peace who witnessed the signature, and the seal must be on the document.
- Vital records. No photocopies. The record has to come from a town or city clerk or the state Vital Records Division.
- Federal papers. FBI background checks, naturalization papers and passports cannot be apostilled by the state.
- Translations. When a translation has to be notarized for New Hampshire so that it can be apostilled here, we hire a notary commissioned in New Hampshire to notarize the translator’s statement.

Court interpreters and what they do not cover
The New Hampshire Judicial Branch supplies interpreters free of charge for in-court hearings when a litigant, witness or person with a significant interest in a case has difficulty communicating in English. Ask as early as you can through the Information Center at 1-855-212-1234 or the clerk’s office. That service is for hearings. For written material, the court says clerks can help with basic forms through a telephone interpreter, and anything more detailed has to come from outside the court system.
Schools in Concord and translated records
UNH Franklin Pierce School of Law, 2 White Street, tells graduate law applicants that official English translations should accompany all transcripts not issued in English. It suggests the LSAC LL.M. Credential Assembly Service or World Education Services for credential evaluation.
NHTI, Concord’s Community College, 31 College Drive, tells international applicants that documents not in English must be accompanied by an official, notarized translation. Students seeking transfer credit for coursework outside the US need a course-by-course credential evaluation, and the college points to NACES for evaluators. A translation and a credential evaluation are separate things; we provide the translation.
Concord vital records and language figures
The Concord City Clerk’s Office is responsible for records of births, marriages and deaths occurring in the city, and like every New Hampshire clerk it can issue certified copies. The statewide fee is $15 for the first copy and $10 for each additional copy of the same record ordered at the same time.
According to Census Bureau QuickFacts (2020 to 2024 American Community Survey), 8.9% of Concord residents age 5 and older speak a language other than English at home and 7.3% of residents are foreign born. We work in 100 languages, most often Spanish, Russian, Hindi, Urdu, Chinese, Vietnamese, Arabic and Czech; ask if yours is not listed.
Ordering a translation from Concord
Send a scan or photo through the quote form in PDF, JPEG, PNG or Word format. You get a price and a delivery date before work starts. Say up front whether the translation is for USCIS, the DMV, a school or a foreign authority, and whether it needs a notarized translator’s statement or an apostille. We are open 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. at (971) 514-3743. We cannot guarantee that a particular office will accept a document, so confirm its requirements first.
