Apostille Services for Graduates | Hazelnut Notary Services

Graduates Moving or Working Abroad

Your Arizona Diploma or Transcript, Certified for Use Abroad

If you are heading overseas for work, graduate school, or a professional license, your credentials will need to be apostilled before most foreign institutions will accept them. We handle that process for graduates of Arizona schools and colleges nationwide.

Why Your Diploma or Transcript Needs an Apostille

An apostille is a form of international authentication that certifies your document is genuine and was issued by a legitimate institution in the United States. Without it, many foreign universities, employers, licensing boards, and immigration authorities will not accept your credentials. The apostille does not change the document itself -- it certifies it for use abroad.

Requirements vary by country. Some nations require only the apostille. Others require that the registrar's signature be notarized before the apostille can be processed. Contact us before you order your official documents and we will confirm exactly what is needed for your destination country so nothing has to be redone.

High School Graduates

Apostilles are not only for college credentials. High school graduates heading abroad for university enrollment, a student visa application, or a gap year program frequently need their diploma or official transcripts apostilled as well.

Arizona public and private high school documents can be apostilled through the Arizona Secretary of State the same way college documents are. If you are a recent graduate -- or the parent of one preparing for study abroad -- reach out and we will confirm exactly what is needed for your destination country.


What to Know Before You Order Your Documents

Not all transcripts and diplomas are apostille-ready as issued. Contact us before ordering your official documents from the registrar. We will confirm whether notarization is required and what format your destination country expects, so you order correctly the first time.

How It Works

  1. Contact us with your destination country and the documents you need apostilled. We confirm the correct steps at no charge.
  2. Request an official transcript or certified copy of your diploma directly from your school's registrar using the format we advise.
  3. Send us your documents. We handle notarization if required and submit to the Arizona Secretary of State.
  4. Completed documents are returned to you by the method agreed upon during your quote.

Graduates in Other States

We also process apostilles for graduates of colleges and universities in other states through our mail-in service. If you attended school outside of Arizona, contact us with your institution and destination country and we will advise on turnaround options and requirements. Out-of-state processing typically takes four to eight weeks depending on the issuing state.
