Document Authentication • International Use

Apostille Services

Preparing documents for use in another country can involve additional authentication requirements. Our apostille services offer guidance to individuals and businesses in Boston and surrounding Massachusetts communities who need help understanding the process for documents intended for international use.

Documents That May Require Authentication

  • Personal and civil documents
  • Education-related documents
  • Business and corporate paperwork
  • Powers of attorney and affidavits
  • Other eligible documents intended for use abroad

Understanding the Apostille Process

The correct authentication process depends on the document, where it was issued or notarized, and the country where it will be used. Some documents may require notarization or additional certification before an apostille can be issued. Requirements can differ, so identifying the destination country and document type is an important first step.

How to Get Started

  1. Tell us what document you need to prepare and which country will receive it.
  2. Review the applicable notarization and authentication requirements.
  3. Confirm the appropriate next steps, required paperwork, and available service options.

Please note: An apostille is issued by the appropriate government authority, not by a notary. Available assistance and processing requirements depend on the document and the destination country.
