Get a Transcript Notarized or Apostilled 

Most students do not need notarized or Apostille transcripts. You only need to get your official transcript notarized or apostilled if an institution, employer or other type of third-party requests it specifically.

Only official CSR transcripts will be notarized. If needed, please place an order for a Notarized Transcript. Notarized transcripts will be mailed to the recipient address provided on the transcript order form. 

Apostille Transcripts

  1. Order a notarized official CSR transcript. Notarized transcripts will be mailed to the recipient address provided on the transcript order form.
  2. Get the document(s) authenticated by the corresponding county clerk. The Registrar's office will try to have the transcript notarized by someone who qualified or filed in Albany county so that this step can be completed by the Albany County Clerk but if the notary public's stamp indicates that they are only qualified or filed in different county, you will need to complete the second step with that County Clerk's office.
  3. Get the document(s) apostilled by the New York State Department of State. This seal is the last one required.
