What are Transcripts?

A Transcript is an official record of a student’s academic performance, typically issued by an educational institution such as a school, college, or university. It lists completed courses, grades, credits, and degrees earned. Transcripts are often required for applications to new schools, universities, employers, or government agencies, serving as verified proof of education.

In most countries, only the institution can issue the original transcript, but you can request certified or Notarized Transcripts when you need to verify the document’s authenticity for official use abroad or with certain authorities.

These may include homeschool transcripts, college transcripts, or high school transcripts. Some institutions require an Apostille or legalization for international recognition, depending on the destination country’s legal requirements.

The Importance of Transcripts

Transcripts are more than just records – they are vital legal and academic documents. Whether applying for a job, enrolling in higher education, or immigrating, verified transcripts demonstrate your educational history and credibility. Many organizations require notarized transcripts or an Apostille to confirm that the document is genuine and legally valid for international use.

At NotaryPublic24, we make this process simple and secure. We help individuals and professionals obtain legally recognized versions of their educational documents, including Notarized Transcripts, certified copies, and Apostilled Transcripts.

Frequently asked questions

What is a notarization?

Notarization is the official process of having a document legally verified by a notary public. A notary public is an authorized official who verifies the identities of the people signing a document and confirms that the signatures are authentic. This process makes the document legally recognized and trustworthy, helping to prevent fraud and ensuring its validity for important matters like buying a house, signing a contract, or creating a will.

What is an Apostille?

An Apostille is a certificate that makes your document valid in other countries. It's like a stamp of approval that confirms your document is real and can be used in countries that are part of the Apostille Convention. This agreement between countries makes it easier to use important documents like birth certificates and marriage licenses abroad without needing any other certifications. The Apostille verifies the signatures and seals on your document, ensuring it's accepted as genuine.

What is a Notary Public?

A Notary Public is an authorized official who has the right to issue certain certificates. An example is the Apostille stamp. A Notary Public is authorized by the state and applies their official seal and signature to certify the documents.

What is a notarized transcript?

A notarized transcript is an official academic record that has been verified by a Notary Public to confirm that it’s a true and accurate copy of the original document.
