Yonkers by the numbers
Yonkers has about 211,000 residents, and roughly 34 percent of them were born outside the United States, according to American Community Survey 2024 one-year estimates. That is well above the statewide figure of 23.3 percent.
We translate 100 languages. Spanish, Russian, Hindi, Urdu, Chinese, Vietnamese, Arabic and Czech are requested most. If your document is in another language, ask before ordering and we will tell you whether we cover it.
Yonkers City Clerk and Westchester County Clerk
Outside New York City, vital records are kept locally. The Yonkers City Clerk, 87 Nepperhan Avenue, Yonkers, NY 10701, issues certified copies of birth, death and marriage certificates and also runs a passport acceptance agency. Birth certificates can be requested in person, by mail with a notarized request form, or online through VitalChek, and the city limits them to the person named or a parent listed on the record.
The county seat is White Plains, not Yonkers. The Westchester County Clerk’s notary department is at 110 Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd., Room 330, White Plains, NY 10601, phone (914) 995-3070.
From Yonkers to a New York apostille
An apostille for a Yonkers document takes two stops after you have the paper in hand.
A notarized document has to be certified by the clerk of the county where the notary is qualified. For translations that must be notarized for New York, we hire a notary commissioned in New York to notarize the translator’s statement, and we can help you through the apostille steps.
- County. The Westchester County Clerk authenticates the signature of a local registrar or a notary for $3.00 per document, in person or by mail with a self-addressed stamped envelope. Photocopies are not accepted.
- Age limits. Vital records must be certified copies obtained within the last year. Notary records are kept for six years, so an older acknowledgment cannot be authenticated.
- State. The New York Department of State then issues the apostille for $10 per document with its request form.
- In person. The closest Department of State walk-in location to list is New York City: 123 William Street, 2nd Floor, New York, NY 10038, open 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. on weekdays.
- By mail. PO Box 22001, Albany, NY 12201-2001, or by courier to 1 Commerce Plaza, 99 Washington Avenue, 6th Floor, Albany, NY 12231.
Courts that serve Yonkers
CPLR Rule 2101(b) sets the rule for New York civil cases: filings are in English, and a foreign language affidavit or exhibit needs an English translation with the translator’s affidavit stating qualifications and accuracy. Spoken interpreting is handled by the courts themselves, free of charge, on request to the Chief Clerk.
| Yonkers City Court | 100 South Broadway, Yonkers, NY 10701. Civil claims up to $15,000, small claims, landlord-tenant, misdemeanors |
|---|---|
| Westchester Supreme and County Courts | 111 Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd., White Plains, NY 10601 |
| U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York | 300 Quarropas Street, White Plains, NY 10601 |
Immigration filings and driver licences
USCIS applies 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3): every foreign language document must be accompanied by a full English translation, certified complete and accurate by a translator who also certifies competence to translate into English. Our certificate addresses each element, though only USCIS decides what it accepts.
The DMV is stricter about who certifies. For a road test with a licence not in English, it asks for an International Driving Permit or a translation certified by a consulate, the US Department of State or another official government agency.
