If you are planning to use your U.S. documents in Paraguay, whether for education, work, business, marriage, or immigration, you will most likely need an apostille. For residents, students, and professionals in Boston and across Massachusetts, Boston Notary Service provides fast, reliable, and professional apostille services for Paraguay. With decades of experience, we know the exact steps needed to ensure your documents are authenticated correctly and accepted abroad.

Paraguay is a member of the Hague Apostille Convention of 1961. This treaty simplifies international document legalization by requiring an apostille instead of embassy or consulate legalization. For Massachusetts residents, this means any official U.S. document you plan to present in Paraguay must first be authenticated by an apostille issued either by the Massachusetts Secretary of the Commonwealth or, in the case of federal documents, the U.S. Department of State.

Without this certification, your documents will not be recognized in Paraguay for legal, academic, or business purposes.

Common Documents That Need an Apostille for Paraguay

Boston Notary Service assists with a wide range of documents, including:

• Vital Records – Birth, marriage, and death certificates issued in Massachusetts towns and cities.
• Educational Documents – Diplomas, transcripts, degrees, enrollment verifications, and certificates of attendance from Boston-area universities such as Harvard University, MIT, Boston College, Boston University, Northeastern University, and Lesley University.
• Legal Documents – Powers of attorney, affidavits, adoption papers, and court records.
• Corporate Records – Articles of incorporation, corporate bylaws, contracts, and certificates of good standing.
• FBI Background Checks – Required for work visas, residency, or immigration in Paraguay, processed through the U.S. Department of State.

Whether your goal is to study abroad in Asunción, conduct business in Ciudad del Este, or marry in Encarnación, having your documents properly apostilled is a critical first step.
