University Diploma Apostille

October 24, 2020 by Leave a Comment

Do you need to apostille your University diploma?

Before your diploma can receive an apostille from the State,  it must be signed by the University’s Registrar and notarized.  The purpose of the apostille is to prove that your diploma is genuine and can be relied on it’s authenticity.

USA Apostille, Inc. can apostille your diploma for over 115 countries who are members of the Hague Apostille Convention and for over 60 countries who are non-members of the Hague Apostille Convention (Legalization process).  The most common countries we apostille diplomas are for South Korea, Spain, and Italy.  For non-member countries, they include China, Taiwan, Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE.

Note: In additional to your diploma, you will most likely need to apostille your FBI background check.

Step #1: The first step is to contact the University’s Registrar and inform the Registrar that you will need the original or a color copy of your diploma to be signed and notarized.  The Registrar with either ask you to mail in the original or email a color copy. Some University’s may request that you purchase a new diploma which can take time to reproduce. If the University 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 when it’s convenient for the Registrar.  Note: Most notaries are unfamiliar with authenticating a diploma (apostille) for a foreign 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 diploma with an apostille.

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.  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 diploma with our order form to our office for processing.  We have created an order form and credit card authorization form for every US State.  You can find and download our order forms here: National Apostille Order Forms

Do you need to apostille your diploma?

If you are planning to work or continue your education in a foreign country, you will need to apostille your diploma and your FBI background check.  In this article, we will focus on how to apostille your diploma.

In order to apostille your diploma, it must be signed and notarized by the Registrar.  The notary will need to meet with the Registrar at the University, College, Trade School, or High School.

We can apostille the following diplomas:

  • Master’s Diploma
  • Bachelor’s Diploma
  • College Diploma
  • High School Diploma
  • GED Diploma

The most popular countries we can apostille and legalize diplomas are for:

Step #1: The first step is to contact the Registrar at the school and inform the Registrar that you will need the original or a color copy of your diploma to be signed and notarized.  The Registrar with either ask for you to mail in the original or email 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 local traveling notary service near the school.  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 and include the correct notarial wording.

Typically, a diploma can be notarized in several ways:

  1. The Registrar attests to the diploma with a written or typed statement and the notary witnesses the signature of the Registrar.  For example: “I, Jane Doe, Registrar of ACME University, certify that this is a true and original copy of John Walters Master’s diploma”.  In most cases, the notarization is performed on the back of the diploma to allow space for the statement, Registrar’s signature, and the notarization.
  2. The second and less frequent option is for the school to draft a signed and notarized University letterhead with a statement and signature of the Registrar including the notaries seal, signature, and notarial wording.

Please be sure to contact our office as some countries will request the original diploma to be notarized rather than a color copy.  For example, Qatar will request the original diploma to be signed and notarized.

Step #2: The second step is to mail in your notarized diploma with our completed order forms to our office.  We have created an order form and credit card authorization form for every US State.
