Apostille Services for Boston College Students: Fast & Reliable Document Authentication

If you're a Boston College student planning to study abroad, work internationally, or need to authenticate your documents for any foreign purpose, you’ll likely need an apostille. Apostilles certify the authenticity of documents for use in Hague Convention countries, making them legally recognized overseas.

At Boston Notary Service, we specialize in Massachusetts apostille services and have decades of experience assisting Boston College students. Whether you need an apostille for a diploma, transcript, FBI background check, or birth certificate, we ensure a smooth, expedited process.

What is an Apostille and Why Do Boston College Students Need One?

An apostille is a certification issued by the Secretary of State that verifies the authenticity of a document for international use. Boston College students may need apostilles for:

Studying abroad (exchange programs, graduate school)

Employment in a foreign country

Visa and immigration applications

Dual citizenship processes

Marriage abroad


Without an apostille, your documents might not be legally recognized outside the U.S., delaying your academic or professional plans.




Common Documents Boston College Students Need Apostilled

1. Boston College Diploma Apostille

If you’re pursuing graduate studies or a job overseas, your employer or university will require an apostilled diploma. We work directly with Boston College students to notarize and apostille diplomas quickly.

2. Boston College Transcript Apostille

Foreign institutions often require an official transcript with an apostille. Our team helps Boston College students obtain the necessary authentication, ensuring your records are recognized internationally.

3. FBI Background Check Apostille

For work visas, some countries require an FBI background check with an apostille. We simplify the process by assisting students with the federal apostille in Washington, DC.

4. Birth Certificate Apostille

If you need a visa, dual citizenship, or residency abroad, your Massachusetts birth certificate may need an apostille. Our service retrieves and processes Massachusetts vital records for apostille certification.

5. Power of Attorney Apostille

Boston College students may need a power of attorney apostilled if they’re authorizing someone to handle their affairs while they’re overseas.




How to Get an Apostille for Boston College Documents

Step 1: Determine Which Documents Need an Apostille

Before starting, confirm with your foreign employer, school, or government which documents need an apostille.

Step 2: Notarization (If Required)

Certain documents, like diplomas and transcripts, require notarization before they can be apostilled. Boston Notary Service can notarize Boston College diplomas and transcripts on-site or remotely.

Step 3: Submit for Apostille Processing

Once notarized, we submit your documents to the Massachusetts Secretary of State for authentication. If the document is federal (e.g., FBI background check), we send it to the U.S. Department of State in Washington, DC.

Step 4: Receive Your Apostilled Document

After processing, you receive your apostilled document, ready for use abroad. We offer expedited and mail-in apostille services to accommodate your timeline.
