Where Worcester filings are handled
Your certified translation is delivered as a PDF you file yourself, so it works with every office below. Nothing needs to be picked up and there is no local counter to visit, because the whole service is online.
USCIS field offices
- Lawrence Field Office, Lawrence, MA. USCIS's field office lookup assigns every Worcester zip code (01601 through 01655) to the Lawrence Field Office at 280 Merrimack Street, 6th Floor, Suite 610, Lawrence MA 01843, not to the Boston office. The serving office is in Lawrence, about 50 miles northeast of Worcester. Appointments are by notice only.
Immigration courts
- Boston Immigration Court, Boston, MA. Worcester has no immigration court. Massachusetts has two, the Boston Immigration Court at 15 New Sudbury Street, Room 320, and the Chelmsford Immigration Court at 150 Apollo Drive, Suite 100. The hearing notice names the assigned court.
State rules
Apostilles and notarization in Massachusetts
The Secretary of the Commonwealth's Public Records Division, Commissions Section is the only office in Massachusetts authorized to issue an apostille or certification for a notarized document going to a foreign country.
The fee is 6 dollars per document, with checks or money orders payable to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
Walk-in requests are accepted at three offices, One Ashburton Place in Boston, 436 Dwight Street in Springfield, and 218 South Main Street in Fall River.
Massachusetts does not certify out-of-state documents. They must be authenticated by the state where they were issued.
For an in-state transcript or diploma, the school registrar certifies the record in the presence of a notary, the notary notarizes the registrar's signature, and the notarized document then goes to the Secretary of the Commonwealth for the apostille.
USCIS filings from Massachusetts need certified translations, not notarized ones. The requirement is a complete English translation with the translator's signed certification of accuracy and competence.
The Massachusetts RMV accepts documents that are not in English only when accompanied by a certified translation, with both the translation and the certification printed on the letterhead of the certifying entity and including the translator's qualifications and a statement affirming completeness and accuracy.
Massachusetts recognizes four notarial acts, acknowledgment, jurat, signature witnessing, and copy certification. When a translation is notarized, the notary verifies the translator's signature, not the accuracy of the translation.

Questions
Worcester questions
- Which USCIS office serves Worcester?
- USCIS assigns every Worcester zip code to the Lawrence Field Office at 280 Merrimack Street in Lawrence, not the Boston office. If you are scheduled for an interview or biometrics, expect a Lawrence appointment unless your notice says otherwise, and always follow the address on the notice.
- Where would my immigration court hearing be if I live in Worcester?
- Worcester has no immigration court. Massachusetts hearings are held at the Boston Immigration Court at 15 New Sudbury Street or the Chelmsford Immigration Court at 150 Apollo Drive. Your hearing notice names the assigned court, so follow the notice.

- Spanish and Portuguese. Worcester is about 25 percent Hispanic or Latino, with Puerto Rican and Dominican communities of roughly 29,000 and 8,000 people, and close to 5,000 residents report Brazilian ancestry, so Spanish to English and Portuguese to English lead demand.
- Do Worcester universities require certified translations of foreign transcripts?
- Many do request English translations of transcripts and diplomas from international applicants, including offices at WPI, Clark University, Holy Cross, Worcester State, and UMass Chan Medical School.
