Certifications, Authentications, and Apostille for Transcript

The first step is for you to order your transcripts online. Please go to https://www.k-state.edu/transcripts for transcript information and ordering. Be sure to choose the paper transcript option when requesting a notarized transcript for Certification, Authentication, or Apostille. Please indicate on the electronic request form in the “Special Instructions Section” that the transcript needs to be NOTARIZED for the Certification, Authentication, or Apostille process. We will print the transcript(s) and notarize and send to you. Transcript requests are processed in one to two days upon receipt.

When you receive the notarized transcript, send by check $7.50 per official document with the notarized transcript to the address below for the completion of the Certification Authentication or Apostille. You may also contact the Office of Secretary of State and make arrangements for credit card payment.

Be sure to include a letter with a brief description to the Office of Secretary of State of what you are wanting done, for what country, and the number of documents being authenticated. Include a self addressed stamped envelope or prepaid envelope for the documents to be returned to you.

If you have any questions regarding the apostille process, please contact the Office of Kansas Secretary of State at 785-296-4564 or www.kssos.org or email at kssos@kssos.org.
