How do you get your diploma, university degree, transcript, verification letter certified and attested for use in the Philippines?
The Philippines is now a Hague Convention country, therefore the legalization of your degree by the Embassy of the Philippines is no longer required. Before the Philippines joined the Apostille Convention in 2018, the attestation was a chain type legalization procedure which included the Consulate / Embassy of the Philippines. Now a Hague apostille issued by the Secretary of State will make your document valid and legal in the Philippines.

How do you prepare a transcript for foreign use?
Contact your school and request a certified notarized copy of your transcript. This document needs to be signed by a school official (original signature), and his/her signature must be notarized. If you cannot obtain a certified notarized copy, please contact us. We can have a copy of your diploma /transcript notarized and apostilled in Washington DC.What should a certified, notarized transcript look like?
Practically all New York colleges and universities issue certified notarized copies upon request of the student, and ship them to third parties if so instructed. The certification is usually signed by the school registrar or some other official, e.g. a Students Services Representative, and his or her signature is then notarized.
Here is an image of a certified transcript that was sent to us by the New York University. This transcript is properly certified and notarized. This transcript is eligible for a New York apostille or embassy legalization.

Some foreign countries require that your document is translated, and that the translation is apostilled. Translation agencies usually provide an Affidavit of Translation Accuracy which is signed by a translator who confirms that he/she is competent to translate from English into the language of the target country, and that the translation is a true, complete and accurate translation of the original document. Then, the translator's signature is notarized, and the document is ready for an apostille.
Increasingly, translation agencies use the services of translators who work remotely, sometimes in foreign countries. In this case it is not possible to have the signature of the translator notarized. As a solution, the translation agencies provide a different kind of affidavit where a manager or another agency's official confirms that the translation was performed by a professional translator, and that the translation is accurate. The signature of the manager is then notarized.
