Introduction: What is an Apostille & Why Do You Need It?

If you're dealing with  international documents—whether for  adoption business contracts, diplomas, or legal records—you may need an  apostille  or certification to validate them abroad. In Massachusetts, the  Secretary of the Commonwealth handles apostille requests, but the process can be time-consuming if done in person.

That’s where  courier services like Bocsit  come in. Instead of waiting in line at  One Ashburton Place, we  pick up your notarized documents, submit them for apostille, and return them to you—fast, secure, and hassle-free.

Key Benefits of  Using a Courier for Apostille Services:

• Skip the wait – No need to visit the Secretary of State’s office in person.
• Guaranteed handling – We ensure your documents are processed correctly.
• Same-day or next-day turnaround options.
• Secure tracking – Know exactly where your documents are at all times.

 What Documents Require an Apostille in Boston?

Not all documents need an apostille—only those  destined for countries that are part of the Hague Convention. Common documents include:

1. Adoption papers (for international adoptions)
2. Academic diplomas & transcripts (for studying or working abroad)
3. Business contracts & corporate filings (for overseas transactions)
4. Court documents (for international legal cases)
5. Birth marriage, and death certificates (for immigration or residency)

Photocopies cannot be certified—only original documents with  wet-ink signatures from:

• Massachusetts Notary Public
• Justice of the Peace
• City/Town Clerk
• Court Clerk
• Registrar of Vital Records
