Massachusetts Apostille Experts: Notarize, Certify, Simplify

Navigating apostille services in Massachusetts can feel complicated, but it doesn’t have to be. Whether you need documents for educational purposes, business transactions, or international legal matters, Boston Notary Service and Colon Constable Services make the process seamless, fast, and reliable. From notarization to apostille certification, we ensure your documents are accepted internationally while saving you valuable time.

What Is an Apostille and Why You Need One

An apostille is an official certification that verifies the authenticity of a document for use in Hague Convention countries. It confirms that the signature, seal, or stamp on your document is legitimate, allowing it to be recognized legally overseas.

Documents that commonly require an apostille in Massachusetts include:

Birth, marriage, and death certificates

Diplomas, transcripts, and certificates of attendance

Corporate documents like articles of incorporation, bylaws, and corporate resolutions

FBI background checks, affidavits, and powers of attorney


For documents destined for non-Hague Convention countries, an authentication may be required instead. Our experts guide you on the correct process, preventing delays or rejected documents.
