Preparation & service details

Need a diploma, transcript, enrollment letter or university affidavit prepared for an international application? Boston Notary Service helps students, alumni, families and university teams coordinate the document steps that remain after the school confirms what it can prepare.

Start with the recipient’s exact request

Ask the receiving organization what it needs: a registrar-certified record, a school official’s signature, a sealed transcript, a notarized copy or direct delivery from the university. These are different formats. A notary cannot verify a degree, change the school record or certify the academic content.

Before requesting a quote, tell us

• The school, campus and document type
• The destination country and receiving organization’s written instructions
• Whether the document is already issued and in your possession
• Whether the registrar must sign, certify, seal or send it
• Authorization or campus-release rules the school has provided
• Document count, deadline and return-delivery location

How we can coordinate

Depending on the school’s process and confirmed authorization, we can review a mobile notary appointment, document pickup, registrar coordination, certification steps and return delivery. A school may require its own forms, advance authorization or a particular official to prepare the record. We confirm the school’s role and our proposed scope before arranging travel or handling an original.

Apostille or authentication

If the document is for use abroad, its origin and destination determine the appropriate route. A document prepared by a registrar can follow different steps from a privately signed affidavit. Some destinations require an apostille; others may require another authentication or embassy-legalization process. Share the receiving office’s instructions before you request a notary appointment.

Our process

1. Send the school, document type, destination and deadline.
2. We review the requested format, authorization and remaining steps.
3. We confirm availability, quote and handling plan before work begins.

Ask about a campus or mobile visit in Greater Boston. Pickup, travel, printing and return delivery are quoted as part of the agreed request; availability must be confirmed.

For students, alumni and registrar offices

Harvard, MIT, Boston University, Northeastern, Boston College, Tufts and other Greater Boston institutions control their own records and release procedures. Naming a school does not establish an affiliation or guarantee that the same preparation works everywhere. Send the registrar’s instructions for your actual diploma, transcript or enrollment record.

Registrar signature or copy attestation?

Ask the overseas recipient which version it accepts. A school official’s notarized signature and an eligible attested copy are different routes. Do not assume that a digital diploma or ordinary printout meets a request for a registrar-issued certified record.

Can pickup and apostille preparation be quoted together?

Tell us the campus, authorized pickup contact, release requirements, document count, destination and arrival deadline. We review the school’s role, any mobile notarial visit, the appropriate certification and agreed return shipping before confirming the service.

Diploma and transcript preparation for international use

A student applying for work, residency or further study abroad may need a registrar-signed diploma, transcript or enrollment letter followed by an apostille. Ask both the university and the recipient about the required format before ordering a replacement. A registrar's notarized signature and an attested copy of a diploma are different preparation routes.

Boston and Cambridge university coordination

For a Boston-area school or Cambridge campus, send the institution, registrar contact, record requested and any pickup authorization requirements. University offices control their own document release and appointment procedures. We review the requested notary or collection work and any Massachusetts apostille steps once those instructions are available. Include the destination, document count and arrival deadline with your request.
