ACADEMIC RECORD APOSTILLE

An apostille is a document authenticating the seals and signatures of officials on public documents such as high school diplomas, FBI reports, marriage certificates, or any other documents issued by a federal agency or certified by an American or foreign consul.

Diploma is an authentic document indicating the designated student's degree award. It is typed on the reverse of the diploma. The diploma is embossed with the College seal, and the statement needs to be signed by the Registrar in original.

Transcript is a document with the following statement typed: “This document is an official transcript of the named student’s academic record.”

In order to get an apostille on educational documents you need to take into account several important points. In most cases, the Registrar's Office of an educational institution (High School, College, or University) will create the necessary transcript or diploma and have it formally stamped, certified, and notarized upon receipt of a written request signed by the student. The county clerk's office should certify the document at the county level once you obtain the certified copy from the school administration (in some U.S. states). A seal and the county clerk's signature will be appended. The Department of State in the state where the educational documents were produced and notarized must certify your diploma or transcript before you can use them internationally.

You might think about contacting a professional apostille business in NYC or in your state if you are unfamiliar with the legalization procedure and have questions about how to handle the apostille process for your educational documents. Professional apostille agencies and notaries can assist you by lending their expertise and awareness of the nuances of each document's legalization procedure, and they will appropriately create the documents within the tightest deadlines.

You may not always have a choice. Considering that it can be school policy to only grant certification to the owner of the original degree. The degree or diploma must be shown to the school as proof of this.

So here are some options for you. Verify that a true copy of your school record, degree, or certificate that has been authenticated by the institution will be accepted in the country where you are sending the Apostille document. If they agree to this approach, have the school make a copy of your original or send them a copy, as instructed by the institution.

This can appear to be a challenge. But here is how you fix it. Obtain a certified authentic copy of the credentials with the university seal from the registrar of the university. The registrar should then sign an affidavit before a notary public in the registrar's office or another location on campus attesting to the document's legitimacy.

If you want to present the diploma, academic record, or transcript in a nation that isn't a signatory to the Apostille Convention, get in touch with the embassy or consulate of that nation to learn more about their document authentication procedures. An apostille may be accepted in some non-apostille countries. Others could need additional procedures in document legalization, including certification from the US Department of State followed by certification from a consulate.
