When transferring credentials between countries, documents may require authentication or an apostille. An apostille is an additional form of authentication given to a notarized document to certify that the document is a true, i.e., exact, copy of the original.

The University of West Florida Office of the Registrar provides notarization of transcripts, diplomas and syllabi needed by students for this process. Before requesting notarization, please check with the agency requesting your documents to determine what level of verification is required.
