I'm honestly so frustrated rn 😭

I mailed my Massachusetts document in for an apostille, got it back saying the notary wasn't valid. I figured maybe I messed something up, got it redone, mailed it AGAIN... and it got rejected AGAIN with basically the same thing.

At this point I have no clue what's actually wrong. The document is notarized, the seal is there, everything looks fine to me.

Does anyone know what "notary not valid" usually means in Massachusetts? Is it the wording? The certificate? The notary's commission? Do I have to get the whole thing notarized again?

I really don't want to mail this a third time just to have it come back again 😩 Any advice from someone who's been through this?
