Certified Translation Services in Hackensack, NJ
Hackensack is the county seat, which makes it the administrative centre of Bergen County rather than just another town. The Bergen County Justice Center holds the Superior Court, the County Clerk and the Surrogate, and the USCIS Application Support Center on Kansas Street handles biometrics for much of the county. Most of the paperwork that needs translating in this part of New Jersey passes through one of those offices.
We are eight miles east in Edgewater, and a good share of Hackensack work arrives because someone at a counter said a document had to be in English.

County Clerk certifications and the apostille chain
The Bergen County Clerk can certify the signature of a notary commissioned in the county, which some receiving parties ask for. A New Jersey apostille does not need that step: the Division of Revenue and Enterprise Services in the Department of the Treasury — not, despite what most generic guidance says, a Secretary of State — accepts notarized documents directly, provided they carry the original ink signatures of the notary and the signer.
Hackensack University Medical Center adds a different stream: foreign medical records, vaccination histories and physician letters that have to be readable by US clinicians or attached to immigration medical filings. These need translation that preserves clinical terms precisely rather than paraphrasing them.

Getting the order of operations right
If a foreign country needs a New Jersey document, the usual chain is: obtain a certified copy from the issuing office, get any required county-clerk certification, obtain the apostille from the Division of Revenue, then translate the whole package including the apostille.
If the United States needs a foreign document, there is no apostille step at all in most cases — just a complete certified translation. Apostille service is $195 and takes about five business days.

Часто задаваемые вопросы
Who issues apostilles for New Jersey documents?
The New Jersey Department of the Treasury, Division of Revenue and Enterprise Services. New Jersey is one of a handful of states where this is not the Secretary of State, which is why so much generic advice sends people to the wrong office.
Do I need the County Clerk before the apostille?
Not for a New Jersey apostille. The Division of Revenue takes documents notarized in New Jersey directly, and vital records as certified copies from the state Office of Vital Statistics and Registry. Tell us what you have and we will say which path applies.
Can you translate foreign medical records?
Yes. Medical records are translated with clinical terminology preserved rather than simplified, and are certified the same way as any other document.
