BOSTON NOTARY SERVICE · PLANNING A MULTI-DOCUMENT REQUEST

If a project involves several records or signers, send the full document list before anyone mails or notarizes originals. Boston Notary Service can review what each item needs and coordinate the agreed steps.

Make one line for every document

Include the title, issuer, state or agency, format you have and country of use. List each original that needs its own certification and identify the person authorized to approve the work.

Separate state, federal and legalization steps

Eligible Massachusetts documents follow the state route. Federal documents, including FBI reports, follow federal processing. Where the Apostille Convention does not apply, the destination may require additional authentication or legalization.

Plan for dependencies and handoffs

University release, a certified replacement record, a signing appointment or a translation can affect the schedule. Tell us which records are ready, which are pending and whether the completed documents need to arrive together.

Review the quote by stage

Ask which preparation, submissions, additional steps and delivery arrangements are in scope. We’ll confirm timing and the agreed quote before you authorize work.

Get a plan for your documents

Share what you have, where it’s going and when it needs to arrive. We’ll confirm what’s needed and quote the work before you send originals. Your initial request does not collect payment.
