What Is an Apostille for a Death Certificate? An apostille is a form of international certification that validates a public document for use in countries that are members of the Hague Apostille Convention. For non-Hague countries, an authentication process is required instead. A Massachusetts-issued death certificate must be authenticated by the Secretary of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts before it can be legally accepted abroad.
