A practical checklist for a mixed credential packet
Keep a separate line for each diploma, transcript, institutional letter or professional record. Identify the issuing office, the jurisdiction, the number of originals and the recipient’s requirements. An institution’s release process may need to happen before certification can start. Tell us when you will leave Boston and whether completed documents should return locally or go to another agreed address.
Work with the office that issues the record
A diploma, transcript, institutional letter or professional record should be obtained through the appropriate issuing office. Ask what official certified or notarized version it can provide for international use.
A mobile notary cannot replace a registrar, employer or licensing authority. The holder's photocopy may not meet the receiving organization's requirements, even if it contains a visible signature or seal.
Identify the certification jurisdiction
Tell us the state or federal authority associated with the record. A professional living or working in Longwood may hold records from several jurisdictions, and those records may require separate certification routes.
Massachusetts certifies eligible Massachusetts official and notarial signatures. If a privately signed statement is involved, review the required notarization before arranging an appointment.
Keep personal care visits separate from professional paperwork
A hospital bedside signing for a personal document has different logistics from authenticating a professional credential. Explain which service is needed so the request can be directed appropriately.
For professional records, include the destination country, recipient's written instructions, any translation requirements and the date the original must arrive. Confirm the document handoff and return arrangements before sending originals.

Your document request, clearly planned
01 · Share the complete document list
Tell us who issued each record, the destination country, the recipient’s instructions and the date the originals must arrive. Identify any document that still needs preparation, a certified copy or notarization.
02 · Review the route and scope
We review the request and explain the proposed work, timing and quote. State certification, federal processing and any additional legalization follow their respective authorities’ requirements.
03 · Confirm the return arrangements
Agree on the delivery address, recipient and any FedEx or DHL shipping before processing begins. Government handling and carrier delivery are separate steps and are reviewed against your deadline.
Questions about your document request
Are you affiliated with Longwood hospitals or universities?
Boston Notary Service is an independent provider. The issuing institution controls its records and any access or release requirements.
Can you apostille a license, transcript or employment letter without review?
The issuer, format and destination requirements must be checked first. Some records need preparation by an official or institution before government certification.
What determines the quote for an apostille request?
The document types, issuing jurisdictions, preparation steps, number of originals and delivery arrangements determine the proposed scope. We explain the service charges and relevant official fees before you proceed.
Can you guarantee completion by my overseas deadline?
Send the date the completed originals must arrive. Available options depend on document readiness, government processing and delivery. We review the route and timing before confirming the service; an initial request is not a guaranteed completion date.
