What is an Apostille, and Why is it Needed?
An apostille is a form of authentication issued by a Secretary of State or the U.S. Department of State, verifying the legitimacy of public documents for use in Hague Convention countries. Instead of requiring complex embassy legalization, an apostille ensures your document is recognized internationally.
Documents That Require an Apostille
If you need to use your documents in another country, they often require an apostille. Common documents include:
Vital Records: Birth, marriage, and death certificates
Educational Documents: Diplomas, transcripts, and degrees from Massachusetts universities
Court & Legal Documents: Power of attorney, affidavits, divorce decrees, name change documents
Business & Corporate Documents: Articles of incorporation, contracts, patents, trademarks
FBI Background Checks & Criminal Records: Required for visas, immigration, and employment abroad
If your documents originate from Massachusetts, they must be apostilled by the Massachusetts Secretary of State before being legally valid overseas.
