How mobile works
Overview
An apostille certifies that a document is genuine so it can be accepted in another country that's part of the Hague Convention. We help you prepare, notarize, and route documents for apostille authentication.
Common documents include diplomas, powers of attorney, birth and marriage certificates, and corporate records. We also assist with FBI background check processing, apostille guidance, translation support, and international documentation for travel, employment, residency, or education.

Frequently Asked Questions
An apostille is a certificate that authenticates a public document so it is recognized in another country that is a member of the Hague Apostille Convention. It verifies the signature, seal, or stamp on the document so foreign authorities can accept it.
Common examples include diplomas and transcripts, birth, marriage, and death certificates, powers of attorney, affidavits, and corporate records. The document usually must be an original or a certified copy, and many private documents must be notarized before they can be apostilled.
If the receiving country is not a member of the Hague Convention, an apostille is not enough and the document typically needs further legalization through that country's embassy or consulate. We can explain the general path so you know what to expect, though the embassy sets its own requirements.
No. Apostilles are issued by the competent authority, such as the Secretary of the Commonwealth for Massachusetts documents or the U.S. Department of State for federal documents. We help you prepare, notarize where needed, and route your documents to the correct authority.
It depends on the document type. Vital records and many government-issued documents do not need notarization, while powers of attorney, affidavits, and other private documents usually must be signed before a notary first. Our commissioned notary public can complete that step during your appointment.
