A university town generates a particular kind of paperwork: transcripts and diplomas bound for employers and graduate programmes abroad, affidavits of support, and landlord documents for student housing.
Documents going overseas usually need an apostille after notarisation, and the order matters — a transcript has to carry the registrar’s certification before the State will authenticate it. Tell us the destination country when you book. Getting that wrong costs a fortnight and the state fee, and it is the single most common mistake we see on student paperwork.
