Obtaining an Apostille

An apostille is usually required for an official transcript and/or a statement or certification of graduation. Some countries require that a copy of the diploma issued at graduation have the apostille. If this is the case, we may be able to do a reprint of the diploma to be copied and certified. If we do need the original diploma it will be returned to the student.

This process can take four to six weeks, due to the multiple certifying agencies involved. We use U.S. regular, First Class Mail (2 to 3 days delivery) to send these documents from one party to another within the U.S. If international shipment is involved or if any other method of shipment is to be used, the person requesting the apostille must make the arrangements and pre-pay the charges. Only U.S. regular, First Class Mail shipment is covered by the fee of $40 for each apostille. Each country will require its own apostille.

Information specific to obtaining an Apostille in the state of New York is found at NY Dept of State.

A student or former student of Alfred University who needs to have an apostille should submit a completed Request for Apostille form. We will get in touch with you via phone to verify the information provided.
