Obtain an Apostille

What is an Apostille?

An Apostille is a document issued by the government, such as the State of New Jersey, attesting to the legal status of notaries and certain other public officials who have notarized another document, such as a diploma or transcript. They are often used in transactions involving international document exchange, for the benefit of a foreign government, or to secure employment in a foreign country. An Apostille is provided if the transaction involves a country that subscribes to the Hague Treaty.

A student applying for an apostille can get their diploma/transcript notarized by the Registrar’s Office. Please note obtaining an Apostille is a separate process from the university.
