Apostille service for Death Certificates issued from all 50 U.S. States. Because of the unique requirements of each State, we recommend that you mail to our office the original or a certified copy of the death certificate issued by The State Registrar or local County Clerk in Massachusetts or respective state.
You must know that some States require Death Certificates to be issued within the past 12 months. For example, if you need a Massachusetts Apostille, the certificate must be within the past 12 months.

A Death Certificate is generally requested when the family requests to settle the estate of the deceased in another country. If the requesting country is a member of the Hague Apostille Convention, you will be required to provide a Death Certificate with an Apostille. The Apostille helps authenticate the document for acceptance in the other country.
