Preparing Florida Educational Records for Use Abroad

If you're in Bonita Springs and need to present a Florida diploma, transcript, or other educational record in another country, the document may need an apostille before it can be accepted.

Educational documents are commonly authenticated for international university admission, studying abroad, foreign employment, professional licensing, credential recognition, residency applications, and other academic or professional requirements overseas.

The important first step is determining whether the educational record you have is actually prepared correctly for Florida apostille processing.

Unlike a Florida vital record, a diploma or transcript may require specific preparation based on the type of school record, who issued or signed it, and how it was certified or notarized.

Before sending an original diploma or other important school record, we can review a copy first and help determine the appropriate next step.

Diplomas, Transcripts & Other School Records

Educational documents aren't all processed exactly the same way.

Depending on the record and how it was issued, a diploma, transcript, school certification, or other academic document may require an additional step before it can receive a Florida apostille.

If a university, employer, licensing authority, attorney, or foreign government has provided specific instructions, send those requirements along with a copy of your document.

Tell us what educational record you have, where it was issued, and which country will receive it. We'll review the information before you send the original.

This can be especially important when you're working against an enrollment, employment, licensing, or international application deadline.
