School & Academic Document Apostille Los Angeles
Apostille service for transcripts, diplomas, and enrollment letters. We help Los Angeles students and professionals get academic records apostilled correctly for study, work, and immigration abroad.
Help with transcripts, diplomas, and enrollment letters
When you apply to a foreign school, professional program, employer, or immigration authority, they often require U.S. academic records with an apostille.
We help students, graduates, and professionals across Los Angeles confirm whether their transcripts, diplomas, enrollment or graduation letters, and other school records are in the right format for apostille and coordinate the process so the paperwork is accepted the first time. You do not have to guess which version to order from the school or whether it must be notarized.
Before you schedule, we review a sample or photo of your document, the issuing school or university, your destination country, and any instructions from the foreign institution so you know exactly what is required.
This page covers academic documents broadly. For specific record types, see our detailed pages for high school diplomas, high school transcripts, college diplomas, and college transcripts. For other document types, visit our apostille services page.

How school & academic apostille service works
1. We review your school document and destination requirements.
You can text or email a copy of your transcript, diploma, or school letter along with any instructions from the foreign school, employer, or agency. We confirm whether the record is eligible for apostille and what the issuing school or registrar must do before it can be processed.
2. We help you obtain the right version from the school, if needed.
If your document is a student copy, missing signatures, or not properly notarized or certified, we explain how to request the correct version—such as a registrar‑issued transcript, notarized diploma copy, or official enrollment letter—so you do not waste time and fees on the wrong paperwork.
3. We obtain the apostille and return your documents.
Once the correct school documents are ready, we submit them for apostille and arrange secure delivery back to you or directly to the foreign school, credential evaluator, or employer when appropriate.
Processing times and fees depend on the issuing state, the type of school, and whether you choose standard or expedited options where available. We outline realistic timelines and costs before you commit so you can plan around application or visa deadlines.
Common academic documents Los Angeles clients apostille
Official transcripts
Many foreign schools and credential evaluators require official transcripts issued by the registrar and sometimes notarized by a school official before apostille. We help you confirm the correct issuing office and whether your transcripts must be in sealed envelopes or can be processed as loose pages. See our pages for high school transcripts and college transcripts.
Diplomas and degree certificates
Some countries ask for a notarized copy of your diploma or degree certificate with an apostille to verify completion of a program. We explain whether your original can be used or if a notarized copy or replacement diploma is recommended for apostille. See our pages for high school diplomas and college diplomas.
Enrollment, attendance, and graduation letters
Enrollment verification, letters of attendance, and graduation confirmation letters may need to be signed by an authorized school official and notarized before they can be apostilled. We coordinate the notarization and apostille steps so the letters meet foreign requirements.
Professional and licensing program records
Records from professional schools and licensing programs—such as nursing or technical programs—may need apostilles for overseas employment or licensing. We review the instructions from foreign regulators and help you prepare the correct combination of transcripts, certificates, and letters.
Questions about apostilling school documents
Do transcripts need to be sealed or notarized?
Some destinations accept registrar‑issued transcripts without notarization, while others require a notarized statement from a school official or sealed envelopes. We review the foreign institution's instructions and tell you which version to request.
Can you apostille school records from another state?
Yes. Many clients studied in another U.S. state but now live in Los Angeles. We can often help coordinate apostilles for those records, but they must be processed through the state where the school issued or notarized the documents, so timing and fees will vary.
Can I use scanned or electronic transcripts?
Electronic transcripts sent by email are useful for review, but apostilles usually require paper records that meet specific certification or notarization rules. We will tell you whether your electronic copy can be converted into an acceptable format or if you must request new paper records.
Will my original diploma be returned?
If your original diploma is used for apostille, the apostille is typically attached directly to it and the document is returned after processing. When possible, we may recommend using a notarized copy instead to keep your original diploma safe.
How do I know if I need an apostille or another type of authentication?
If the country where you plan to study or work is part of the Hague Apostille Convention, an apostille is usually required. For non‑member countries, consular legalization or another form of authentication may be needed, and we can help you understand the correct path before you send any originals.
