Apostille Marriage Certificate Massachusetts

Certified Legalization for International Use

ApostilleMA.com provides premium document preparation, courier submission, and certified return delivery for marriage certificates that require international acceptance under the Hague Convention.

Which Marriage Certificates Can Be Apostilled?

Eligible certificates must be issued as a certified document by one of the following:

• City or Town Clerk’s Office
• Massachusetts State Registry of Vital Records
• Massachusetts Department of Public Health

Documents must include:

• Official raised seal
• Signature from a City/Town Clerk or Registrar
• A printed certification statement

Hospital records, photocopies, or online printouts are not valid unless they are reissued as certified copies. If a recent certified copy is needed, we guide clients on how to request it or obtain it on their behalf when authorized.

Do Marriage Certificates Require Notarization?

Marriage certificates issued by a Massachusetts clerk or vital records office do not require notarization before apostille. However, if a client only has a non-certified copy, a notarized affidavit of authenticity may be necessary. A Massachusetts commissioned notary must notarize this affidavit. If you require on-site notarization, our partner network at MiddlesexNotary.com provides private mobile signing across Boston and Middlesex County.
