Requests for Notarized Diplomas and/or Transcripts for Apostille

  1. Request a duplicate copy of your Mississippi State University diploma; that information and form is linked above. 
     
  2. Indicate on the form whether the diploma will be used for an apostille. 
     
  3. You can find the appropriate apostille information on the Mississippi Secretary of State website here: 
    https://www.sos.ms.gov/business-services/notaries-apostilles
     
  4. Complete the following items and return ALL items to the Registrar’s Office at the address below:
     
    1. The MSU Duplicate Diploma Form and the $50.00 check or money order payable to Mississippi State University. 
       
    2. The Apostille Certification Request form and $5 fee.  Please note that when you access the Apostille Certification Request form (Form 11) from the Mississippi Secretary of State’s Office, the form directs you to return the completed application with the $5 fee for each copy to the Secretary of State. Please do not send the completed form and the $5 payment directly to the Secretary of State’s Office. When this is done it often causes the process to be delayed. The Secretary of State’s Office will not process any documents without the form and the $5 fee. 
       
    3. All items must be received in order to complete the Authentication process. 
       
  5. It usually takes 7-14 days for processing, but once the diploma has been printed, we will have it notarized. We will then pack the diploma, along with the Secretary of State Apostille Certification Request Form and payment made to the Mississippi Secretary of State’s Office and mail all items to the Secretary of State’s Office for completion of the apostille process. 
     
  6. If a copy of the transcript is also required, you must order the transcript through Parchment. Be sure to notate on the transcript order that it is for apostille. Email graduation@registrar.msstate.edu once your order is complete to let us know your transcript will be included in the apostille. 
     
  7. To make other arrangements for your apostille, please email graduation@registrar.msstate.edu.
