Notary and Apostille

Notary and Apostille Process

Our office is able to mail notarized documents back to the requestor, or send it to the NC Secretary of State (please see instructions below). If your diploma, transcript, and/or degree verification needs a notary or an Apostille please notify Registration and Records at graduation@ncsu.edu.

You can order your paper transcript here. You must order your transcript for pick-up and notify graduation@ncsu.edu when it is ready for pick-up.

If you do not have your original diploma, you must first order a replacement diploma.
