How Babson documents work
Babson publishes clear apostille instructions. The College Registrar certifies your diploma or transcript in the presence of Babson's notary, and the notary notarizes the Registrar's signature. Babson then sends the document, with the items you provide, to the Secretary of the Commonwealth for the apostille. You mail your request form, payment and a self-addressed stamped envelope to the Registrar's Office at Hollister Hall.
It's a reliable route, but it runs entirely by mail. If you're relocating, closing a funding round or starting a job abroad on a tight schedule, we can help you move faster and add translation or legalization. Some institutions will accept a certified copy of your academic record. In those cases, we can come to you, notarize the document and provide an expedited apostille. Please confirm this option is acceptable with the recipient first. Otherwise, we partner with the school to ensure international acceptance.
How your Babson College record gets notarized
Massachusetts will apostille an academic record notarized with any of its four notarial acts: acknowledgment, jurat (affidavit), signature witnessing or copy certification. Which one you need is usually set by whoever receives your documents, so we confirm their requirements before we start.
School official acknowledgment
A Babson College official signs your diploma, transcript or verification letter before the notary, and the notarial certificate names the official, their title and the school. Ministries of education and universities abroad often require this.
School official affidavit
The Babson College Registrar signs a separate sworn statement confirming your graduation and that the attached records match the school's files, and the notary notarizes it. Spain's Ministry of Education, for example, accepts only this or an acknowledgment. See our Spain guide.
Certified copy, only if your recipient accepts it
As the owner of your diploma, you present the original and we notarize a certified copy, then get the apostille in 1–2 business days. Many recipients won't accept a copy certification, so please confirm with yours first.
Prepared right the first time
We coordinate with the Babson College Registrar, prepare the notarial certificate with the details your recipient requires, and file with the Massachusetts Secretary of the Commonwealth. For the school-certified routes, you don't need to come to Boston.

Mistakes Babson graduates avoid
- Sending an electronic transcript. A PDF can't carry a Massachusetts apostille. It needs to be a notarized paper record.
- Using a bank notary. A notary can't confirm that a university record is genuine on their own. The notarization needs to involve your registrar.
- Getting an apostille for a non-Hague country. The UAE, Qatar, Kuwait and others need embassy legalization instead.
- Forgetting the translation. Many countries won't accept English-only records. We add certified translation to the same order.
- A name that doesn't match your passport. If your name has changed since graduation, tell us early.
- Leaving out the return envelope. Babson's mail-in route needs your self-addressed stamped envelope.

Where we meet you
Frequently asked questions
Does Babson send my document to the state for me?
Yes. Babson's instructions say it sends your certified, notarized document to the Secretary of the Commonwealth with the items you provide.
Can you speed it up?
Often, yes. Tell us your deadline and we'll explain the options.
Can my digital or electronic diploma be apostilled?
Usually not as it is. A certified electronic diploma is a secure file that the recipient verifies online, and some recipients accept it directly, so ask them first. For an apostille, Massachusetts needs a notarized paper document: usually a notarized copy of your diploma, a notarized transcript or a notarized degree verification letter. Tell us what your recipient asked for and we’ll confirm the right route.
