Step by Step 2023 Action Guide to Apostille your POA Power of Attorney in Westchester for less than $20

Step by Step Action Guide to Apostille your Power of Attorney in Westchester for less than $20
New York Apostille expediter Harry Otto explains the process of processing your own power of attorney with an Apostille beginning in Westchester County. Here he explains how it can be done, start to finish, for less than $20! It's not complicated if you have a bit of time and patience.

  1. Once you have your undated and unsigned power of attorney typed up, head over to the Westchester County clerk’s office in White Plains. They’re located at 111 Martin Luther King Blvd next to the Galleria. If you’re driving, there’s always a convenient spot to park on Quarropas Street right by Grand Street. Put 45 minutes in the meter or download the White Plains Parking mobile app.
    Your first stop for Apostille is to have your document notarized and authenticated at the Westchester County Clerk's office in Whie Plains.
  2. Head to the third-floor clerk’s office and simply ask for a notary. It’s free.

  3. Tell the notary that you’ll be sending this off for an Apostille and you also need “authentication”. They will staple a blue authentication tag to the notarized document. This is $3.00. If you have multiple pages being notarized in the same Apostille, you only need one tag – each notarization in the single Apostille does not require authentication.

  4. The clerk’s office has the New York State Department of State Apostille request form. Ask them for one. Or you can fill that out now by downloading it here:

  1. After filling out this form and enclosing a check for $10 please remember to include a self-addressed and stamped envelope. They will absolutely delay your request if you don’t follow this direction. Expect your completed Apostille in the mail within 3 weeks.

White Plains Apostille & Mobile Notary Service: The Definitive 2023 Guide to Obtaining Your Apostilled FBI Background Check

In the United States, we want to make it clear that we are not channelers. Channelers are companies authorized by the government to collect fingerprints, send them to the FBI, and initiate your FBI background check.

Channeler Distinction: It’s important to note that a channeler is NOT an apostille expediter. A proficient expediter can apostille your FBI background check in less than a week, sometimes even on the same day.

Recommended Expediter: For the quickest results, we recommend using Printscan, conveniently located at 75 South Broadway in White Plains. Please note that Printscan no longer accepts phone or drop-in appointments. Schedule an appointment at Printscan – White Plains, NY. The cost for fingerprints and FBI background checks is $90 plus tax.

Mobile Services: Printscan offers the convenience of sending a fingerprint technician to your home or office. Contact them at (631) 782-1700 for this service.

PDF Option for Faster Processing: Opt for a PDF version of your FBI background check for the quickest turnaround time. Once ready, upload the PDF to our application page at apostilleapply.com for immediate printing and apostilling.

Comprehensive Services: At apostilleapply.com, we offer additional services such as translation, color scan-to-PDF, and FedEx delivery to your selected country. We handle all aspects of your apostille and final application.

FD-258 Fingerprint Cards: White Plains Apostille provides FD-258 fingerprint cards, available in a 3-pack on our application site at apostilleapply.com. These cards can be brought to your local police department.

Special Cases: For requests involving marriage licenses for second citizenship and golden VISAs, ensure you obtain the necessary documents. In White Plains, visit the Westchester County Clerk’s office on Martin Luther King Blvd. For New York City, the Department of Health handles this. Always contact the County Clerk where the original certificate was issued to determine who issues certified copies.
