Request an Apostille

Authenticate your ACU transcripts and diplomas for international use.

What Is an Apostille?

International organizations may require an apostille for transcripts and/or diplomas in order to validate the documents. An apostille is an additional level of authentication of a notarized document, issued by the Arizona Secretary of State’s Office.

ACU can provide the notarization and submit your documents to the Secretary of State’s Office for apostille purposes. Before requesting notarization, please check with the agency requesting your documents to determine what level of document verification is required.

How to Request

1

Submit the Transcript Request Form

Fill out the electronic transcript request form through Populi.

Select Apostille as the Delivery Method on the form.

2

Include Diploma Details (If Needed)

In the Additional Information section of the form, indicate if an apostille of a diploma is also requested.

3

Verify Recipient Information

When completing the request, please verify that the recipient’s address and/or email was entered correctly. The Office of the Registrar cannot be responsible for delivery errors due to inaccurate information reported on the form.

According to FERPA, the Office of the Registrar must have written permission to release student transcripts. Students must fill out a new transcript request for each set of transcripts sent.

Important Information

There are additional fees associated with the apostille process. Consult ACU’s Schedule of Tuition and Fees for current amounts.

Apostille requests may take 10–30 days to complete. ACU has no control over the processing time of the apostille by the Secretary of State’s Office.

Students must fill out a new transcript request for each set of transcripts sent. No transcripts will be sent from the Office of the Registrar unless requested through the electronic form.

For standard official transcripts (without apostille), visit the Official Transcripts page.
