Apostille Services in Boston

If you plan on using U.S.-issued documents in another country for official reasons, you will need to certify them using an apostille. This certification proves that the document is valid and also ascertains your identity. The apostille results from a treaty used by countries party to the Hague Convention. Given its ability to help governments thwart cases of bribery and forgery, many authorities require you to apostille official documents so you can use them within their borders. And not getting an apostille could thus set you back on your travel plans.

Below are some of the documents you may need to apostille:

Death, marriage, birth, and divorce certificates,
Business agreements, and
Academic certifications like degrees.

Any other documents used for official transactions may also require an apostille. And the best time to get one is before leaving the U.S.

How to Get an Apostille in Boston

Getting documents certified to be recognized abroad isn’t always the most straightforward process, even if you’re an experienced traveler and consider yourself up to date on visa regulations and an expert at paperwork. Boston may be a metropolis with travel services around every corner. So, one could be reasonable and assume they could do everything to prepare for a trip with just a ride on the T, a little patience, and the address of the appropriate offices.

When it comes to getting an apostille in Boston, things aren’t that straightforward. Boston is fortunate in being both the largest city, the capital of Massachusetts, and the nearest international hub, meaning residents can apply for Apostille certification at the Secretary of State’s office, hand in the paperwork for a passport renewal at the local, regional passport agency, and fly out of Logan. If you have spare time, this is a viable option for any visa application.

However, when your travel plans come at the last minute – as they too often do – you may not have time to drive between these different locations during regular business hours, nor can you wait to send and receive everything with mail-in applications. Moreover, not everyone has the time or patience to head to state or federal offices, line up in queues, and while the time away as they wait for approval.

Also, did you know that not all documents can get an apostille at the state level? The Secretary of State in Boston can help you with state-issued documents like marriage certificates or university diplomas, but any provided by the U.S. government – criminal background checks from the FBI, for example – require a federal Apostille from the U.S. Department of State in Washington DC. The same conditions apply. You must walk in during regular business hours (enjoy that train ride!) or send everything in the mail and hope it’s returned before your flight.
