How to obtain an Apostille on University Degree?
Step #1: You should start by contacting the University’s Registrar’s office and telling the Registrar that you require the original or a color copy of your degree to be signed and notarized. The Registrar with either ask you to send in your original Degree or email its color copy. Some Universities may request that you should purchase a new degree certificate, which may take them some time to print. Many Universities have notary public on staff that can notarize your Degree. If your school does not have one, you can find a traveling notary online and arrange for him to come to the University and meet with the Registrar. Please make sure the Notary you select, knows notarial laws in your state and uses an appropriate affidavit so that the State office could authenticate your Degree with an Apostille.
Step #2: Once your degree is signed and notarized, please check it carefully to verify that it was done properly. Some universities put signature and notarization on the backside of a Degree, while others place them on the front side. Regardless of the placement, make sure that your Degree has the original signature, the printed name of the Registrar, as well as the Notary’s name, signature, date of notarization, notarial affidavit, and stamp.
Step #3: The last step is to mail your Degree to our office for processing.
