There are numerous reasons you might require your diploma or transcripts to be apostilled:

Regardless of the reason, obtaining an apostille for your diploma or transcripts is a common requirement when moving to another country.

Prior to obtaining an apostille, it is essential to have the diploma or transcripts notarized. This step is generally straightforward.

If you possess the original diploma, you will need to create a color copy of the document. Present both the original and the copy to a notary. Ensure that the notary includes the following details on your documentation: their name, signature, date, appropriate notary language, and notary seal.

In the absence of the original diploma, you should reach out to the educational institution to request new transcripts or a color copy. Inquire whether notarization can be performed at that time, as many institutions have a notary available.

Apostille Process for Diplomas or Transcripts

An apostille serves as a certification that verifies the signatures and seals on the document, and it is recognized by countries that are signatories to the Hague Convention of 1961. Consequently, once your documents are apostilled, they will be accepted by your destination country as an authentic representation of the original.

The process of obtaining an apostille can be somewhat cumbersome. After completing the necessary steps for your diploma or transcripts, you must submit them to the appropriate Secretary of State for processing.

However, if your destination country is not a signatory to the Hague Convention of 1961, they will not recognize apostilled documents. In such cases, you will need to initiate the legalization process through the relevant Embassy or Consulate.

Alternatively, you may choose to engage EZApostille to efficiently manage the apostille or legalization process on your behalf.
