Arizona apostille requirements for diplomas and transcripts
Academic documents such as diplomas, transcripts, verification letters and general school records issued by high schools, colleges, and universities of Arizona, must be certified by the school registrar, and notarized prior to be presented for an apostille.
If you are requesting an Arizona State apostille for a copy of your diploma or transcript notarized by an Arizona notary public, ensure the notary includes the notarial statement (acknowledgment). Documents that only contain the notary’s signature and stamp, without the proper notarial certificate, will be rejected.
Below is the sample certificate of acknowledgment for the State of Arizona:
Certificate of Acknowledgment:
(for personal and corporate powers of attorney, statements, letters, consents, certified diplomas and transcripts signed by school officials, etc.)
For remotely notarized documents the notarial statement must have the following additional wording: "This remote online notarization involved the use of communication technology".
Arizona notaries are allowed to certify copies of the documents. The notary must confirm that the original document presented is not a public record nor is it publicly recordable.
Here is a sample notarial certificate for an attested copy of a diploma/transcript.

(for certifying copies of passports, IDs, driver licenses, transcripts, diplomas and copies of other personal and corporate documents)
