Step #1: The first step is to contact the School’s Registrar and inform the Registrar that you will need the original or a color copy of your GED diploma to be signed and notarized. The Registrar with either ask you to mail in the original or e-mail a color copy. Some schools may request that you purchase a new diploma. If the school does not have a notary on staff, a traveling notary can visit the school and meet with the Registrar. You can search online and arrange for a traveling notary service to visit the school when it’s convenient for the Registrar. Most notaries are unfamiliar with authenticating a diploma for another country so it’s best to leave the apostille process to us. The notary must follow the proper notarial laws of their State in order for the State office to authenticate the document.
Step #2: Once you receive your notarized diploma, go ahead and verify that the diploma has been signed and notarized. Some schools will sign and notarize the back of the diploma while others have enough space to use the front. We have even seen some school attach a signed and notarized affidavit attesting to the validity of this document. The original signature and the printed name of the Registrar must be on the documents including the notary’s name, signature, date of notarization, notarial wording, and stamp.
Step #3: The final step is to mail in your documents to our office for processing. We have created an order form and credit card authorization form for every US State. Apostille Order Forms
