From our deep roots in Boston’s South End and Back Bay to our trusted partnerships with professionals across the state, we are your go-to resource for secure, accurate, and timely document authentication.

What Is an Apostille and Why Do You Need One?

An apostille is an official certificate issued by the Massachusetts Secretary of the Commonwealth that verifies the authenticity of a public document so it can be recognized in another country that is part of the Hague Convention of 1961. Common documents requiring an apostille include:

Birth, marriage, and death certificates

University diplomas and transcripts

Power of attorney documents

Corporate records and Articles of Incorporation

FBI background checks


If the destination country is not part of the Hague Convention, your documents will instead need authentication and consular legalization. We handle both processes from start to finish.
