If you studied at Tufts University and now need your documents recognized abroad, an apostille or authentication is often required. Whether you’re relocating for work, enrolling in a graduate program overseas, applying for a visa, or marrying abroad, international authorities typically demand certified proof that your Tufts-issued documents are legitimate.

Boston Notary Service provides a full-service Tufts University apostille solution—from notarization and state certification to final apostille or embassy authentication—handled correctly the first time.

An apostille is an official certificate issued under the Hague Apostille Convention that verifies the authenticity of a public document for use in another member country. For countries not part of the Hague Convention, a more detailed authentication and embassy legalization process is required.

Tufts alumni commonly need apostilles for:

• Diplomas and degree certificates
• Official transcripts
• Certificates of enrollment or attendance
• Letters from the Registrar
• Power of Attorney for international use
• FBI background checks linked to overseas employment

Each document type has specific preparation rules, and errors can cause costly rejections.

Tufts University, located in Medford and Somerville, Massachusetts, issues academic records that must comply with Massachusetts Secretary of the Commonwealth requirements before an apostille can be issued.

Common issues include:

• Registrar-issued documents lacking proper certification
• Photocopies submitted instead of certified originals
• Incorrect notarization format
• Stapled or altered documents rejected by the state
• Sending documents directly to the Secretary without review

Boston Notary Service eliminates these risks by managing the process from start to finish.

Step 1: Document Review

We review your Tufts documents to confirm whether they qualify for apostille or require authentication.

Step 2: Proper Notarization (If Required)

Some Tufts-issued letters or copies must be notarized correctly before submission. We ensure Massachusetts-compliant notarization.

Step 3: State Certification

Your documents are submitted to the Massachusetts Secretary of the Commonwealth for apostille or certification.

Step 4: International Use Preparation

For non-Hague countries, we handle additional steps such as U.S. Department of State authentication and embassy legalization.

Step 5: Secure Return or International Shipping

Completed documents are returned safely or shipped internationally.

Hague Convention Countries

If your destination country is part of the Hague Convention, your Tufts documents require only a Massachusetts apostille.

Examples include:

• Spain
• France
• Italy
• Germany
• South Korea
• Japan

Non-Hague Convention Countries

If your destination country is not part of the Hague Convention, your documents must go through state certification, federal authentication, and embassy legalization.

Examples include:

• United Arab Emirates (UAE)
• Qatar
• Kuwait
• Saudi Arabia
• China

Boston Notary Service handles both processes seamlessly.

Our clients include:

• Tufts graduates working overseas
• International students returning home
