Apostille in Nuevo León

Verified as of August 9, 2026

Everything below is transcribed from this office's own published sources and printed in its words. A value we could not confirm against an official page carries an unverified marker — but the absence of that marker is not a guarantee that a fact was checked, and the source's own doubts stay inside the notes reproduced here verbatim. Confirm fees, addresses and deadlines with the office before you send documents or money.

About this entry's sources: State derechos reset each January in the Ley de Ingresos; no current NL apostille amount was published anywhere reachable. Phase-4 manual re-verification queue (fee + the office-hours discrepancy)

Who issues the apostille

Competent authority

Unidad de Legalizaciones, Subsecretaría de Asuntos Jurídicos y Atención Ciudadana (Secretaría General de Gobierno)

Authority named per the official privacy notice (https://www.nl.gob.mx/es/aviso-de-privacidad-integral-de-legalizacion-y-apostilla-de-documentos). Tel. (81) 2033 2680/2681/2682; email unilegal@nuevoleon.gob.mx. Apostilles documents issued by Nuevo León state and municipal authorities and acts of notarios públicos of the state. Federal-authority documents go to SEGOB (mx/federal); a document from another state must be apostilled by that state — the signature must be registered with the office that apostilles

Which documents this office will accept

From the source: Requirements (POSTA/state info): original document signed by a state public official or a notario; proof of fee payment (payable online or in person); photo ID (INE, passport, cartilla, cédula); printed CURP recommended. Private documents must first be notarized before a notario público (or certified by a registered official), then apostilled by the state; there is no multi-step legalization chain inside Mexico for Hague-destination documents — a single apostille suffices

Certifications you may need first

No additional certification step is required before the apostille.

The request form

The request form is not published online — confirm with the office whether it wants a form, and which one, before you send anything.

What the source does say about this office is in the notes at the end of this page.

Requesting online

Online route: There is no online request route — this office takes requests on paper.
From the source: No electronic apostille confirmed. The NL digital-services portal "NLínea" (https://www.nl.gob.mx/es/nlinea) has no apostille module confirmed. No Mexican state was found to issue true electronic apostilles (apostilla electrónica) as of Aug 2026

Where to go in person

Monterrey unverified

Torre Administrativa, piso 6, Washington 2000 Ote., Col. Obrera, C.P. 64010, Monterrey

Access: Open for walk-in service.
Hours: Mon–Fri 8:00–15:00 (press/POSTA, 2025)
From the source: Source conflict on hours, transcribed verbatim: press/POSTA (2025) gives Mon–Fri 8:00–15:00 while the undated SRE directory lists 8:30–16:30 — the reference flags the discrepancy and neither source is better attested, so the more recent press figure is the field value and the whole object is unverified

Monterrey unverified

Módulo in the Pabellón Ciudadano (isla central), Monterrey

Access: Open for walk-in service.
Hours: Not published for this office.
From the source: Public-service módulo; no street address or hours published in the source. The Pabellón Ciudadano operates largely walk-in, though some services there require a cita — not confirmed for apostille specifically (unverified)

“Unverified” marks a value we could not confirm against an official page. Facts without the marker are not therefore audited — always confirm money and addresses with the office before you send anything.

What it costs

No fee amount is published for this office. What the source does say about cost is below.

Fee: NO current amount found — the historic HCCH note says only that it "varies by document type" (unverified), and the amounts are set in the NL Ley de Ingresos (cuotas); fees[] is therefore empty rather than carrying an invented figure. No RON: Mexico uses civil-law notarios públicos, has no Remote Online Notarization equivalent, and foreign RON documents have no notarial value in Mexico — the ron block is null on every Mexican entry

How to pay

Accepted methods: The source does not itemize which payment methods this office accepts.
From the source: Proof of fee payment is required with the application; state info (POSTA) says the fee is "payable online or in person" but names no payment method, línea de captura or bank — so no method token is asserted here

Where to send your documents

No mailing address is published for this office. Do not send original documents anywhere until you have confirmed the address with the office itself.

How long it takes

Processing time is not published for this office.

Checking status and verifying an apostille

Verify an issued apostille: No public verification register is published for this office. That is not the same as an apostille being unverifiable — ask the office how it confirms one.
Check a request's status: No status-tracking page is published for this office.

Remote online notarization

Mexico has no remote online notarization. Notarial acts are performed by civil-law notarios públicos, and a document notarized remotely abroad has no notarial value here. The source's own statement is reproduced verbatim in the notes on this page.
