Certify Degree – use a Notary
Certifying Academic Degrees for International Recognition
One of the most common requests Edward Young Notaries receives is for academic certification. Whether you’re taking up a new job overseas, applying for further studies, or submitting educational documents for immigration purposes, ensuring your degree is properly certified is crucial.
Two Ways to Certify Your Degree:
- Cerify Degree – a Certified Copy of Your Degree Certificate
A certified copy is a true copy of your original degree certificate, verified by a notary public or solicitor. It confirms that the copy is accurate and unaltered. This is often sufficient for many institutions and employers. - Authenticating Your Degree Certificate
Some authorities require direct verification with the university. In this case, Edward Young Notaries will contact the university to confirm the legitimacy of your degree and provide an official notarised statement.
Apostille and Consular Legalisation Requirements
After notarisation, your document may need legalisation to be recognised in another country. This is done through:
? Apostille Certification – Issued by the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO), an apostille confirms the notary’s signature. This is required for countries that are part of the Hague Apostille Convention.
? Embassy Legalisation – For countries not in the Hague Convention, an additional embassy or consular stamp is required. Edward Young Notaries provides country-specific guidance for clients heading to the UAE, China, Vietnam, and more.
