Massachusetts Birth, Marriage, and Death Certificate Apostille & Retrieval Services

If you need an apostille for a Massachusetts birth certificate, marriage certificate, or death certificate, you’re in the right place. Boston Notary Service is Massachusetts’s leading provider of apostille and retrieval services, ensuring that your documents are properly authenticated for use in Hague Convention and non-Hague Convention countries.

We also handle certificate retrieval directly from the Massachusetts Registry of Vital Records and Statistics (RVRS) and local town/city clerk offices, making the process faster and easier for you. Whether you need a certified copy or an apostille for international use, we streamline the entire process.

What Is an Apostille?

An apostille is a certification issued by the Massachusetts Secretary of the Commonwealth that verifies the authenticity of a public document for international use. If a country is a member of the Hague Apostille Convention, an apostille is the only authentication required.

For non-Hague countries, additional steps—such as U.S. Department of State authentication and consular legalization—may be necessary.

Common Reasons for Apostille of Birth, Marriage, and Death Certificates

Marriage abroad

Dual citizenship applications

Foreign visa and residency applications

International inheritance claims

Overseas pension or retirement benefits

Legal matters involving estates and wills

Adoption procedures


If your document needs to be used outside the U.S., Boston Notary Service ensures that your Massachusetts-issued birth, marriage, or death certificate is correctly apostilled and delivered to you quickly.

Massachusetts Birth, Marriage, and Death Certificate Retrieval Services

Before an apostille can be obtained, you must have a certified copy of the document. If you don’t have one, we can retrieve it for you.

Where We Retrieve Certificates From

We work in person to retrieve records from:

✔ Massachusetts Registry of Vital Records and Statistics (RVRS) – For records from 1926 to the present
✔ Local town or city clerk offices – For records before 1926

Many government agencies only accept in-person requests, which can take time if you’re not local. We handle this on your behalf to speed up the process.

✔ We Retrieve Certified Copies for You – No need to wait weeks for mailed government requests.
✔ Expedited Processing – Faster turnaround than ordering directly.
✔ We Ensure Apostille Eligibility – Not all documents qualify for apostille; we secure the correct version.
✔ Stress-Free Process – Just provide basic details, and we handle everything.
