Nevada transcript apostille requirements

How do you prepare a Nevada high school, college, university transcript for an apostille?

The transcript must be certified/signed by a school official (principal, registrar, counselor, etc.) The signature of the school official must be original.

Sample certification:

This is the original transcript issued to [ name of the student ].

The signature of the school official must be notarized by a Nevada notary public. The notary must use a notarial certificate, otherwise the document cannot be apostilled. The best notarial certificate would be the Acknowledgment (State of Nevada, Notary Public Handbook, 2023-2027):
