Document Apostille Guide

# How to Apostille Academic Transcripts

Academic transcripts are often required alongside diplomas for international employment, education, and immigration. Apostilling your transcripts authenticates them for use by foreign universities, employers, and government agencies. This guide covers the process for both university and high school transcripts.

## Step-by-Step Process

1

### Request Official Transcripts

Order sealed, official transcripts from your educational institution. Unofficial or student copies are not eligible for apostille.

2

### Notarize if Required

Some states require transcripts to be notarized before apostille. A notary verifies the institution's seal or signature on the transcript.

3

### Submit to Secretary of State

Send the transcripts to the Secretary of State in the state where the educational institution is located.

4

### Receive Apostilled Transcripts

The apostille authenticates your academic records for international use in Hague Convention countries.

## Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to apostille transcripts and diploma separately?+

Yes. Transcripts and diplomas are separate documents and each requires its own apostille. Many destination countries require both.

Can I apostille high school transcripts?+

Yes. High school transcripts can be apostilled following the same general process. The transcript must come from the school's registrar or the school district.

What if my university closed?+

If your university has closed, transcripts may be available through the state's department of education or a designated successor institution. We can help locate the correct source.

Are electronic transcripts eligible for apostille?+

Generally no. Most states require physical documents with original seals or signatures for apostille. You'll need to obtain a printed, official transcript.
