School Records Apostille

School record apostilles authenticate a student's academic records for use abroad — for enrolling in foreign schools, transferring credits, or applying to international programs.

Who needs it

  • Families relocating internationally with school-age children
  • Students transferring to a foreign school or university
  • Applicants to international boarding schools

How the process works

  1. 1
    Request records from the school

    Ask the registrar for a signed and sealed set of records — transcripts, immunization records, and any disciplinary or attendance letters required.

  2. 2
    Notarize as needed

    Some states apostille only notarized documents; the registrar's signature is notarized.

  3. 3
    State apostille

    The state where the school is located issues the apostille.

Required documents

  • Sealed transcripts and academic records
  • Immunization records if the destination requires them
  • Enrollment or graduation letters if requested by the receiving school

Common mistakes

  • Opening the sealed envelope from the registrar before apostille
  • Missing immunization records that many foreign schools require
