Mistakes we help you avoid
- Ordering the wrong version. Some countries want long-form records showing parents' names. We order what your recipient needs.
- Ordering from the wrong office. Massachusetts records come from the city or town where the event happened, or from the state Registry of Vital Records and Statistics.
- Restricted records. Some records are only available to the person named or certain family members. We'll tell you what's needed.
- Old certified copies. Some recipients want recently issued copies, especially for use abroad.

What clients say
I had a great experience with the service from start to finish. They were very easy to reach online and always responded quickly whenever I had questions or needed clarification. The whole process was straightforward and well explained, and they made sure I understood everything I needed to know. Communication and confirmations were also very clear throughout. I used their apostille service for a document that needed to be sent overseas, and they took care of everything for me. The entire process was quick, smooth, and hassle-free, which I really appreciated. Overall, I’m very happy with the service and would definitely come back in the future if I have any other documents or paperwork that need notarization or apostille. Highly recommend!
We needed notary and apostille services urgently, and Boston Mobile Notary & Apostille was fantastic. She were responsive, communicative, and came right to us, handling everything quickly and professionally. Super nice as well — highly recommend!
