How to Apostille a Diploma from a Massachusetts University
International employers, foreign universities, licensing boards, and immigration authorities frequently require an apostilled diploma from graduates of Massachusetts institutions. The process is more involved than most graduates expect — because a university diploma is a private document, not a government-issued one, and the Secretary of Commonwealth cannot simply apostille the university’s signature directly. An intermediate notarization step is required. Skipping it is the most common reason diploma apostille requests are returned without processing.
Understanding Apostilles And Authentication Certificates
Apostilles and authentication certificates validate the seal and signature of a Notary on a document so that it can be accepted in a foreign country. Both verify that you held a Notary commission at the time you notarized the document. Apostilles are used when public documents are being transferred between countries that are a party to the Hague Apostille Convention of 1961. This international treaty streamlined the cumbersome, traditional procedure for authenticating documents.
