Diploma and CapDo you need an apostille on your Diploma?

At International Apostille Services, Inc., we take the hassle out of getting an apostille on your documents.

Wether you’re moving, starting a new job, or continuing your education in another country, we can help!

We can apostille diplomas and transcripts issued from all 50 States including the District of Colombia. We can also certify and legalize your diploma and
transcripts for countries who are not members of the Hague apostille Convention.

The most common countries we certify and legalize diplomas are for: Qatar, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates UAE, and Egypt.

The very first step is to contact your school’s Registrar for assistance.  You will need to explain to the Registrar that you need to authenticate your diploma so the other country will accept it. If the school does not have a notary on staff, you can request a traveling notary to meet with the school’s registrar.  The school’s Registrar will either notarize the original diploma or a color copy.

Every school will have their own procedure on how the diploma can be notarized.  Some school’s will request that you mail in your original diploma so they can notarize it while another school will notarize a color copy.  Please contact your school for know more about their procedure, cost, and turn-around time.  If you are having difficulty and the school’s Registrar is not understanding your request, you can ask the school’s registrar to call our office.

Once we receive your diploma, we’ll process it from the State the diploma has been notarized in.  Please note that notarized documents from the State’s of New York, Maryland, Hawaii, Kentucky, and Tennessee require County Clerk authentication before the State will attach the certification.

If you are requesting your diploma for a country who is not a member of the Hague Apostille Convention, your diploma will require two to three steps to complete.

Certifying and legalizing documents can be complicated. Don’t leave this process to untrained employees or non-professionals who do not fully understand the document legalization process and the unique requirements of certain countries. Your paperwork could be rejected costing you time and money. Don’t let this happen to you!
