Mobile Notary or Apostille? Choose the Right Boston Notary Service Request

Boston Notary Service provides mobile notarization and document-authentication assistance, but the services perform different jobs. Tell us the document, where it will be used and your deadline so we can discuss the right request before you pay for an unnecessary step.
When mobile notarization is the request
A mobile notary travels to an agreed location to perform the requested notarial act. Appointment preparation may involve the signer’s identification, complete documents, witnesses and signing instructions. We confirm the requirements and availability for the circumstances.
When apostille assistance is the request
An apostille is issued by the appropriate government authority for international document use. Boston Notary Service helps coordinate preparation, submission and return delivery. The authority and document format depend on the official signature and destination.
When both services may be involved
Some documents require a notarial act before authentication; an official certified record may use a different preparation route. A diploma, birth certificate and federal FBI report are not interchangeable requests. Send the receiving institution’s instructions so we can assess the document you actually have.
Tell us these details first
Document type and issuing office or institution.
Location and participants if a signing appointment is needed.
Destination country and written receiving-party instructions.
Deadline, document quantity and return-delivery preference.
Confirm the quote and scope
Preparation, notarization, retrieval, government processing and shipping can involve separate costs and timelines. We explain the proposed service options for your request. A government certification does not guarantee acceptance by every receiving institution.
