Apostille

The apostille process consists of local and state government certification of a notarized affidavit of an SBTS diploma or transcript. 

An apostille is only valid in countries that are signatories of the Hague Convention.  For countries that are not signatories, the requestor is responsible for obtaining further certification from the U.S. Department of State.

The fee for authentication of a single transcript OR diploma is $30.  Please add $10 per additional document to cover the fees from Jefferson County Clerk (JCC) and Kentucky Department of State (KYDOS).
