You cannot apostille a photocopy or unofficial transcript. You must have an official transcript with:
The school's official seal (raised or embossed)
The registrar's signature
Issued directly from your school (high school, college, or university)
Contact your school's registrar's office to request sealed, official transcripts. Many schools now offer online ordering.
Step 2: Get the transcript notarized by a Texas Notary Public. You can have a Notary witness the School Officials signature or you can take the signed transcript to a Texas Notary to have them witness your signature. If you are living outside of Texas or abroad, you can also set up an online notarization with a licensed Texas Remote Online Notary.
Step 3: Get It Apostilled by the Texas Secretary of State
Once you have your official transcript notarized, it must be apostilled by the Texas Secretary of State's office in Austin. This certifies that the school seal and signature are genuine. Your options:
Mail your transcript with the required application and payment (typically 2-3 weeks processing)
In-person service in Austin if you need same-day processing
Important: Check your destination country's specific requirements.
