Apostille Diploma and TranscriptsHow to apostille a Diploma and Transcripts?

At International Apostille Services, Inc., we take the guesswork out of getting an apostille on your diploma and transcripts.  Our trained and knowledgeable staff have processed thousands of diplomas and transcripts issued from all 50 US States and for over 180 countries.  We have the knowledge and experience to process your documents quickly saving you time, money, and the frustration of dealing with a Government office.

If you are continuing your education in another country or if you have been offered a job, you will be required to provide an apostille on your diploma and transcripts.

We can apostille diplomas and transcripts issued from the following institutions:

  1. Universities
  2. Colleges
  3. Trade Schools
  4. State Issued Certificates (Example: Board of Accountancy)
  5. High School
  6. Middle Schools

The most common countries we process diplomas and transcripts are for South Korea, Qatar, United Arab Emirates (UAE), Saudi Arabia, Mexico, Venezuela, China, Vietnam and more!  Countries who are members of the Hague Apostille Convention only require the State apostille.  Please note that the apostille is issued from the Secretary of State’s office.

A diploma notarized by the institutions Registrar must be apostilled from the Secretary of State’s office.  Please beware of apostille service companies who will re-notarize and apostille your diploma and transcripts from a State other than the institution is located in.  Example: A New York apostille on a University of California diploma.

For countries who are not members of the Hague Apostille Convention, your documents will require multiple steps to complete.  These steps are State certification, US Department of State certification, an Embassy or Consulate legalization. Note: Some countries may only require your diploma and transcripts to be processed through the State and Embassy or Consulate office.  Please, call us for instructions, cost, processing time, and order forms.

The very first step is to contact the institutions Registrar.  The Registrar will need to meet with a notary and have your documents notarized.  If the institution does not have a notary on staff, you can hire a traveling notary to meet with the Registrar.  From our experience, the registrar will do one of the following:

  1. Notarize the original diploma and transcripts. (Best choice and requirement for Qatar).
  2. Notarize a color copy of the original diploma and the original transcripts.
  3. Sign and notarize a letterhead and attach it to the original diploma or a color copy of the original diploma.

Every institution has policies regarding how diplomas and transcripts are notarized.  Some will ask for you to mail in your original documents while another will have to order a new diploma.

Once your diploma and transcripts have been notarized, the next step is to contact our office.  Our trained and knowledgeable apostille agents are available Monday – Saturday from 8am to 7pm to answer your questions and provide you easy to follow step-by-step instructions.  Call us today at 1-888-810-4054.
