Individuals seek apostilles for their academic records across a wide range of international scenarios.
Public university records go straight to the Secretary of State. Private institution documents must be notarized first. Out-of-state credentials route through their issuing state. We know every path, and we pre-screen every document before it's submitted.
We verify your institution, document type, and destination country's requirements.
Private institution documents are notarized by a commissioned notary public; public documents skip this step.

Documents are notarized by a commissioned Notary Public where required, submitted to the appropriate Secretary of State for apostille issuance under the 1961 Hague Convention, and — for non-member destinations — carried through the full embassy and U.S. Department of State legalization chain. A verified process, documented at every step.
If your destination is a member of the Hague Apostille Convention, a single apostille is all you need. If it isn't, we complete the full embassy legalization chain. Either way, we identify the correct path before anything is submitted.
A one-step apostille is accepted in member countries, including:

An academic records apostille is an official authentication certificate that allows your educational documents to be legally recognized in another country. Issued under the 1961 Hague Apostille Convention, the apostille certifies that the signature, seal, or stamp on your diploma, transcript, or credential is genuine — so foreign universities, employers, immigration authorities, and licensing boards will accept it. We prepare, route, and return every type of academic document, for any U.S. state, to any destination in the world.
The correct path depends on whether your institution is public or private. Documents from public institutions are typically issued under state authority and can go directly to the Secretary of State for apostille. Documents from private institutions must first be notarized by a commissioned notary public to create a verifiable signature chain, then submitted for apostille. We determine which path applies, pre-screen every document to prevent rejections, submit to the appropriate Secretary of State or the U.S. Department of State, and add certified translation or embassy legalization when your destination requires it.
We apostille high-school, associate's, bachelor's, master's, and doctoral diplomas and degrees; official university, community-college, and high-school transcripts; GED certificates; teaching credentials and professional certifications; and verification letters such as enrollment, degree-conferral, dean's certification, and good-standing letters. Whether you studied on campus or earned an accredited online degree, your record follows the path that matches the issuing institution.
Foreign graduate programs require apostilled transcripts for admission. Work-visa and skilled-worker immigration programs require authenticated degrees to prove your qualifications. Professional licensing boards — in medicine, nursing, engineering, law, accounting, and teaching — require verified credentials before they will recognize your education. Missing or incorrectly processed documents are one of the most common reasons these applications are delayed. We get it right the first time, on your deadline.
