What Is an Apostille?
An Apostille is a government-issued certification used to authenticate certain public documents for use in another country. The appropriate process depends on where the document will be used.
Massachusetts Documents
Massachusetts can authenticate qualifying documents bearing signatures that fall under the Commonwealth’s authority.
Destination Country Matters
The country where your document will be used helps determine whether an Apostille or another form of certification is appropriate.
Notarization May Come First
Some documents must be properly notarized or otherwise certified before they can move to the authentication stage.
Documents That May Need International Authentication
Requirements vary by document and destination. These are examples of documents commonly associated with Apostille or authentication requests.
Personal & Family Documents
Certain vital records, affidavits, parental documents and other personal records intended for international use.
Estate & Legal Documents
Powers of attorney and other properly prepared documents that may need to be presented to an authority outside the United States.
Business Documents
Certain corporate, commercial and business records that must be presented internationally.
Educational Documents
Certain diplomas, transcripts or school-related documents when the applicable certification requirements have been met.
Notarized Documents
Qualifying documents containing a properly completed Massachusetts notarization that require further authentication.
Other Massachusetts Records
Other qualifying documents may be eligible depending on the issuing authority, signature and intended international use.

Not Every Document Uses the Massachusetts Process
Knowing where the document originated is just as important as knowing where it is going.
Massachusetts Documents
Massachusetts authentication generally applies to qualifying Massachusetts documents and signatures that fall under the Commonwealth’s authentication authority.
- Tell us where the document was issued
- Tell us whether it has already been notarized
- Provide the destination country
- Do not alter the document after notarization
Federal or Out-of-State Documents
Federal documents and documents originating in another state may require authentication through a different government authority rather than Massachusetts.
If you are unsure where your document belongs in the process, provide the document type and issuing jurisdiction when you contact us.

Massachusetts Apostille Questions
Does Mass Notary Pro issue the Apostille?
No. Apostilles and authentications are issued by the appropriate government authority. Mass Notary Pro provides assistance and coordination services.
How much does Apostille assistance cost?
Mass Notary Pro Apostille and authentication assistance starts at $149. Government fees, shipping, courier expenses and other third-party costs are additional.
Do I need an Apostille or an authentication?
The appropriate process depends on factors including the destination country and the type and origin of the document. We begin by collecting those details before confirming service.
Can you help if my document has not been notarized yet?
Potentially. Some documents require notarization before authentication. We can review the service request and determine whether a Mass Notary Pro notarization appointment is appropriate. We cannot select a notarial act on your behalf.
Can Massachusetts Apostille a document from another state?
Documents originating in another state generally must follow the authentication process for the appropriate issuing jurisdiction. Provide the document’s state of origin when requesting service.
Can you help with federal documents?
Federal documents use a different authentication process from Massachusetts state documents. Tell us what document you have when submitting your request so the appropriate next step can be identified.
Can you guarantee my document will be accepted overseas?
No. Requirements are determined by the receiving country, government agency, consulate, institution or other recipient. Customers should confirm the recipient’s requirements before beginning the process.

A $50 reservation deposit is required for an approved appointment and is credited toward the final service total. Your appointment-specific Stripe invoice or payment link will include the estimated total and any applicable travel or third-party charges.
