When dealing with international document legalization, understanding the Hague Convention Apostille process is crucial. If you need an apostille stamp in Massachusetts, Boston Notary Service provides an efficient and reliable solution. Whether you're legalizing birth certificates, marriage certificates, diplomas, FBI background checks, or corporate documents, we ensure your paperwork is processed quickly and correctly.
The Hague Apostille Convention of 1961 simplifies the legalization of documents for use in participating countries. Instead of a lengthy authentication process through embassies, an apostille stamp verifies the authenticity of a document, making it legally recognized in over 100 Hague Convention member countries.
If you're sending documents abroad for work, study, marriage, or business, you likely need an apostille stamp to ensure international acceptance.
At Boston Notary Service, we specialize in obtaining Massachusetts apostilles quickly and efficiently. Our experienced team ensures your documents meet Massachusetts Secretary of the Commonwealth requirements and are processed correctly for Hague Convention countries. We service every university and college in Massachusetts.
Boston Notary Service makes the apostille process simple with these easy steps:
Ensure your document is issued in Massachusetts and signed by the appropriate authority (e.g., a state official, county clerk, or notary public).
Some documents, like business agreements or affidavits, require notarization before apostille certification. We offer mobile notary services for your convenience.
We handle all paperwork and processing through the Secretary of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts to obtain your official apostille stamp.
Once your apostille is issued, we provide secure pickup, mail-back options, or international shipping to your destination country.
For non-Hague Convention countries, documents require authentication and consular legalization instead of an apostille. We also assist with embassy legalizations for countries like China, UAE, and Qatar.
