Academic documents such as diplomas, transcripts, verification letters and general school records issued by high schools, colleges, and universities of Arizona, must be certified by the school registrar, and notarized prior to be presented for an apostille. 

If you are requesting an Arizona State apostille for a copy of your diploma or transcript notarized by an Arizona notary public, ensure the notary includes either an acknowledgment or a jurat. Documents that only contain the notary’s signature and stamp, without the proper notarial certificate, will be rejected.

Below are sample certificates of acknowledgment and jurat for the State of Arizona - either format is acceptable:

For remotely notarized documents the notarial statement must have the following additional wording: "This remote online notarization involved the use of communication technology".

Arozina notaries are allowed to certify copies of the documents. The notary must confirm that the original document presented is not a public record nor is it publicly recordable. 

Here is a sample notarial certificate for an attested copy of a diploma/transcript.

Send the original notarized diploma / transcript by mail or email a remotely notarized document for an Arizona apostille.
