Apostille and Missouri Certification
Saint Louis University students interested in having their diploma or transcript validated for a foreign government should take note of the following:
- Students finishing their studies, who are leaving the United States may need to apply for an Apostille of the Hague or a Missouri Certification to be applied to both their final transcript and their diploma. (Some countries allow a photocopy of the diploma to be used). Speak with the consulate of the country involved to verify their requirements.
- The Apostille and the Missouri Certification are processed by both the Office of the University Registrar and the State of Missouri.
- The state will not allow the University to begin the paperwork for the Apostille until the day after you graduate.
Apostilles and Missouri Certifications are $10 per document (an additional $25 for international shipping) and may be ordered online.
