Apostille in Northern Mariana Islands

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: Nothing about apostille service is published online — every practical fact (fee, processing time, request form, appointment policy) must come from a phone call to the OAG Civil Division; manual verification pass before launch (Phase 4)

Who issues the apostille

Competent authority

CNMI Office of the Attorney General

HCCH designation: Attorney General or Acting Attorney General; Clerk or Deputy Clerk of the Commonwealth Trial Court (today's successor court: CNMI Superior Court). Court documents: clerk of the CNMI Superior Court per the HCCH designation (forms/fee not published: https://www.nmijudiciary.gov/court-filing-fees). Federal-court documents: U.S. District Court for the NMI clerk (the federal $50 fee schedule applies — see us/federal-courts)

Which documents this office will accept unverified

From the source: Pre-certification: (unverified — expect notarization by CNMI notary or issuance by CNMI official, per general practice.)

“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.

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.

Requesting online

Online route: There is no online request route — this office takes requests on paper.
From the source: No apostille page exists on cnmioag.org or nmijudiciary.gov as of Aug 2026

Where to go in person

The source lists no office for in-person service.

What it costs

No fee amount is published for this office.

How to pay

Payment methods are not published for this office. That is a gap in the source, not a statement that no payment is required — ask the office how it takes payment before you go.

Where to send your documents unverified

Mailing address: CNMI Office of the Attorney General, Caller Box 10007, Capitol Hill, Saipan, MP 96950
From the source: The OAG's general contact address — the source does not attest a mail-in apostille route; confirm the procedure by phone before mailing anything

How long it takes unverified

Processing time is not published for this office.

From the source: Fee / processing time / request form / appointment policy: NOT published online — no apostille page exists on cnmioag.org or nmijudiciary.gov as of Aug 2026. (unverified — obtain by phone from the OAG Civil Division.)

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.

Nothing published online — call the OAG (Civil Division) for fee, processing time, request form, and appointment policy (source lists exactly these as unpublished): phone (670) 237-7500; fax (670) 664-2349; hours "M-F from 07:30-16:30"

Remote online notarization

Our source's remote-notarization survey covers the 50 states and the District of Columbia, so it records nothing for Northern Mariana Islands. That is a gap in the source — not a statement that remote notarization is, or is not, available here.
