Do you need your University diploma attested by the Embassy?

For countries who are non-members of the Hague Apostille Convention, the requirements to certify a diploma includes the State, the U.S. Department of State in Washington, D.C., and legalization (attestation) by the Embassy or Consulate office.  Attestation typically refers to the legalization performed by the Embassy.

To help explain the terminology, certification refers the work performed by the State and the U.S. Department of State.  Legalization or attestation refers to the work performed by the Embassy or Consulate office.  Notarization is performed when the diploma is notarized by the University’s Registrar.

We can certify, legalize, and attest diplomas and transcripts issued from all 50 States.  The cost and processing time can vary depending on the State your diploma is issued from and the country requesting your documents. For example, we can certify a California degree the same-day and a degree from Florida State in three business days.

Here is simple illustration which explains the process:

The steps and requirements involved in certifying and legalizing (attesting) diplomas and transcripts varies by country.  For example, the steps to attesting a diploma for Qatar is different than Saudi Arabia.  Some Embassies will require a list of documentation including a notarized diploma, transcript, university accreditation documentation, authentication letter from the University’s Registrar, and more.  We can provide you the list of requirements in order to avoid any delays in completing your documents.
