Teaching in Korea, taking a job in Spain or getting a degree recognized in Mexico? Most countries want an apostille on your diploma and often your transcripts. We notarize a copy of your diploma ($10) and get the Texas apostille ($155 per document) from 6124 Hwy 6 N, Houston. Your original stays with you.
Two Ways to Apostille a Texas Diploma
- Notarized copy (fastest): bring your original diploma. A Texas notary certifies the photocopy as a true copy, and the Texas Secretary of State apostilles the notary’s signature.
- Registrar statement: your school registrar signs a statement in front of a notary confirming your degree, and that statement is apostilled. Some countries or employers prefer this option, so ask first.
Houston-Area Schools We Work With
We handle diplomas and transcripts from the University of Houston, Rice University, Texas Southern University, Houston Community College, Lone Star College, the University of St. Thomas, Houston Christian University and any other Texas school. We are an independent service and not affiliated with these schools.
Transcripts
Order official transcripts from your registrar and ask for a notarized statement or a notarized cover letter. We get the apostille the same way as the diploma. Order them early, since registrars can take a week or more.
Countries That Need Legalization Instead
The UAE, Qatar, Egypt and Kuwait do not accept the apostille; your diploma goes through embassy legalization instead.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can a diploma be apostilled in Texas?
Yes, but not the original. A Texas notary can certify a copy of a diploma, or your school registrar can sign a notarized statement, and the Texas Secretary of State then adds the apostille.
Do I have to send my original diploma?
No. We work from a notarized copy, so your original diploma stays with you.
Can you apostille my transcripts too?
Yes. Request official transcripts from your school with a notarized registrar statement, or ask the registrar to sign in front of a notary. Many foreign employers want both the diploma and the transcripts.
My degree is from another state. Can you still help?
Yes, but the apostille must come from the state where the school is located. Call us and we will tell you how to get it done.
How much does a diploma apostille cost?
$155 per document, including the Texas government fee and return shipping. A notarized copy is $10. Expedited service is $299 per document.
Are you affiliated with the University of Houston or Rice?
No. We are an independent document service and are not affiliated with any school. We work with diplomas from all Houston-area schools.
