Transcript apostille in Maryland
Academic transcripts from Maryland universities, colleges and high schools.
Route: Notarized by your school's registrar, signed before a Maryland notary public → Clerk of the Circuit Court certification → Maryland Secretary of State apostille → shipped to you
Transcripts are usually requested alongside a diploma for graduate admission, credential evaluation and professional licensing overseas.
Ask your registrar for an official transcript with a notarized statement attached. Sealed envelopes are not needed for the apostille, and we may need to open them for processing, so tell the registrar it is for an apostille.
The notarized transcript goes to the Circuit Court clerk for certification and then to the Secretary of State for the apostille.

Questions
Who issues the apostille for a transcript?
The Maryland Secretary of State in Annapolis. The Circuit Court clerk certifies the notary first.
How much does it cost to apostille a transcript?
$50 per document including the government fee, plus the Circuit Court fee at cost, plus return shipping.
Do I need to send the original document?
Yes. The apostille is physically attached to the original certified copy or notarized document. Photocopies cannot be apostilled.
Does the apostille translate my document?
No. The apostille only certifies the signature and seal. Many countries require a certified translation of the document, and sometimes of the apostille, done in the destination country. Check with the office that will receive it.
