What Is a Massachusetts Apostille?

An apostille is a form of international certification that makes a U.S. document valid in a country that is a member of the Hague Apostille Convention. These countries accept an apostille instead of full embassy legalization, dramatically simplifying the authentication process.

Countries that use apostille include:
India 🇮🇳, Italy 🇮🇹, Brazil 🇧🇷, France 🇫🇷, Spain 🇪🇸, Dominican Republic 🇩🇴, South Korea 🇰🇷, Mexico 🇲🇽, Germany 🇩🇪, Portugal 🇵🇹, and many more.

If your destination country is part of the Hague Convention, your document only needs a Massachusetts apostille issued by the Massachusetts Secretary of the Commonwealth.

Boston Notary Service handles the entire process from start to finish.

What Is Embassy Legalization?

If your document is being used in a country that is not part of the Hague Convention, it requires a more complex, multi-step process called embassy legalization.

This includes:

1. Massachusetts Certificate of Authentication
2. U.S. Department of State authentication (Washington, DC)
3. Embassy or consulate legalization

Non-Hague countries include:
United Arab Emirates 🇦🇪, Qatar 🇶🇦, Kuwait 🇰🇼, China 🇨🇳, Vietnam 🇻🇳, Egypt 🇪🇬, Jordan 🇯🇴, Lebanon 🇱🇧, and others.

Boston Notary Service manages all steps, including courier services, in-person filings, and shipping back to you or abroad.
