If your legal practice regularly handles international cases—such as cross-border litigation, immigration law, overseas adoption, foreign real estate transactions, or corporate law—you’ll likely need an apostille certification to validate your documents in other countries. That’s where we come in.




📘 What Is an Apostille and Why Do Law Firms Need It?

An apostille is a certificate issued by the Secretary of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, authenticating the signature and seal of a notary public, justice of the peace, or public official. It confirms the legitimacy of a document for legal use in countries that are members of the Hague Apostille Convention of 1961.

Law firms in Boston require apostille services for a variety of legal documents, including:

Powers of attorney

Corporate documents

Court judgments and orders

Notarized affidavits

Vital records (birth, death, marriage certificates)

FBI background checks for immigration

Divorce decrees

Legal name change documentation
