Preparing Educational Documents for Use Abroad

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

Students, graduates, professionals, and families often need educational documents apostilled for studying abroad, international employment, professional licensing, foreign university enrollment, residency applications, credential recognition, and other overseas requirements.

Educational documents require particular attention because the apostille process can depend on what type of school issued the record and how the document was signed, certified, or notarized.

A diploma hanging on your wall or a transcript you already have may not necessarily be ready to submit for apostille processing in its current form.

That's why we recommend sending us a copy for review before mailing the original.

Tell us what educational document you have, where it was issued, and the country where it will be presented. We'll review the information and help determine what may be needed before the apostille process begins.

Diplomas, Transcripts & School Records

We can assist Fort Myers clients with qualifying educational records such as diplomas, transcripts, school certifications, and other academic documents intended for international use.

The preparation required can vary depending on the record.

If a school official needs to sign or certify something before the document can move forward, it's better to identify that before you send the document for apostille processing.

This is especially important when you're working against an international school, employer, licensing, immigration, or application deadline.
