When it comes to international document certification, Boston Notary Service stands as Massachusetts’s most trusted provider for Apostille and Embassy Legalization services. With decades of experience assisting individuals, businesses, universities, and law firms across the Commonwealth, we simplify what can often feel like an overwhelming and confusing process. Whether your documents are destined for a Hague Convention country or a non-Hague Convention country, our team ensures that your paperwork is prepared, certified, and delivered correctly — every time.
What Is an Apostille?
An Apostille is an official certificate issued by the Massachusetts Secretary of the Commonwealth that authenticates the signature and seal on a public document, making it valid for international use in countries that are members of the Hague Apostille Convention of 1961.
Common documents that require Apostille certification include:
- Birth, marriage, and death certificates
- Diplomas, transcripts, and academic records
- Power of attorney, affidavits, and notarized statements
- FBI background checks
- Corporate documents and business filings
If your destination country is part of the Hague Convention, an Apostille is all that’s required to make your document valid overseas.
Embassy or Consular Legalization (Non-Hague Convention Countries)
If your documents are being sent to a non-Hague Convention country, such as China, the UAE, Qatar, Vietnam, Egypt, or Kuwait, the process involves Embassy or Consulate Legalization.
This multi-step process includes:
- Notarization by a Massachusetts Notary Public (if required).
- Certification by the Massachusetts Secretary of the Commonwealth.
- Authentication by the U.S. Department of State in Washington, D.C.
- Final Legalization at the Embassy or Consulate of the destination country.
Boston Notary Service coordinates all these steps on your behalf, saving you time, travel, and frustration. We handle your documents with precision and ensure every authentication meets international standards.
Apostille and Legalization for Educational Documents
Boston is home to some of the world’s most prestigious universities — Harvard University, MIT, Boston College, Northeastern University, and Boston University, among many others.
We specialize in assisting students, alumni, and faculty members with academic document apostilles for use abroad. Whether you need your diploma, transcript, or certificate of enrollment apostilled, we can retrieve your document directly from the registrar’s office, notarize it if required, and obtain the Apostille or Embassy legalization.
Apostille for Vital Records in Massachusetts
If you were born, married, or had a loved one pass away in Massachusetts, we can also assist in retrieving your official record from the Massachusetts Registry of Vital Records and Statistics or local city/town clerks. Once retrieved, our office handles the full Apostille or legalization process to ensure your document is accepted abroad.
