Copies of student transcripts must be certified by the school and properly notarized before they can be authenticated. Only the school registrar, or other authorized school official, may certify that a transcript is a true copy of the original record in the school’s possession. Students may not make certified copies of their transcripts. A Connecticut notary may not make a certified copy of a school transcript. In fact, Connecticut state law does not give notaries the authority to make any certified copies. The school must be located in Connecticut in order for a transcript to be certified, notarized, and authenticated in Connecticut. Transcripts from schools outside of Connecticut must be certified, notarized, and authenticated in the state or country where the school is located. If you are not able to obtain a certified transcript as described here, check our 24-hour apostille service.
