Notary/Apostille Information

A student who graduated from Illinois State may order a new undergraduate or graduate diploma using the Diploma Replacement Form found at http://registrar.illinoisstate.edu/graduation/diploma.shtml.

If you want notarized copies of your diploma signed by the University Registrar and Notary Public, please indicate so on the Comments: line on the form.

If you want the notarized copies of your diploma to also include an Apostille, you must include the application (link below) or a letter addressed to the Illinois Secretary of State requesting an Apostille on each certified diploma and stating to which country the Apostille will be sent.  Also include a check or money order made payable to the Illinois Secretary of State including $2.00 for each document needing an Apostille.  We provide two notarized copies of the diploma, so $4.00 would be required by the Secretary of State.  Include a pre-addressed, postage-paid envelope with your request to the Secretary of State so that they may mail the notarized diplomas with attached Apostilles to you or a third party.

Please refer to the Illinois Secretary of State Office's guide for further information on certifying documents for foreign use.  Visit www.cyberdriveillinois.com/ and choose Departments, Index, Notary Services and Certify Documents for Foreign Use (I213) to fill out the Application for Authentication or Apostille Certifying Documents for Foreign Use.
