Global Apostille Services - Authenticating Documents Worldwide | Boston Notary Service

Get your documents apostilled for use internationally with Boston Notary Service. 

Serving countries worldwide with fast, reliable apostille and legalization services.



What Is an Apostille and Why Is It Important?

An apostille is an official certification for documents that need to be recognized in foreign countries. Issued under the Hague Convention of 1961, this certification ensures the authenticity of documents like birth certificates, marriage licenses, and academic transcripts for international use.

The apostille process is essential for individuals and businesses who need to use their documents in countries that are part of the Hague Convention or in countries that require document legalization. Without an apostille, many countries would not recognize foreign documents, potentially delaying business or personal matters. Whether you're dealing with educational records, legal contracts, or business documents, getting an apostille ensures your papers meet international standards.



Apostille Services for Countries Worldwide

At Boston Notary Service, we offer comprehensive apostille services for both Hague Convention countries and those not part of the agreement. Our apostille services are trusted globally, and we are equipped to handle a wide variety of documents. Whether you're dealing with legal contracts, educational credentials, or business paperwork, we can ensure that your documents are legally recognized in the destination country.

Countries Within the Hague Convention

The Hague Apostille Convention simplifies the authentication process for documents between participating countries. These countries recognize apostilled documents without requiring further verification. Some examples of Hague Convention countries include:

United Kingdom

Germany

Australia

Japan

France

Italy

Netherlands


Actionable Tip: If you’re dealing with one of these countries, an apostille is the easiest and most efficient way to get your documents validated for use. For example, students looking to study abroad often need to have their diplomas or transcripts apostilled for recognition in their destination country.

Non-Hague Convention Countries

For countries that are not part of the Hague Convention, the apostille process involves additional steps, such as embassy legalization or consular authentication. Examples of these countries include:

China

India

Brazil

Russia

Saudi Arabia

United Arab Emirates


These non-Hague countries typically require a more involved process to authenticate documents. Boston Notary Service specializes in handling these complex requirements and streamlining the process for you. In these cases, your documents may need to be sent to an embassy or consulate for further verification, making the process slightly longer but equally reliable.
