Questions, answered.
How do I apostille a CSUSM diploma or transcript?
A CSUSM diploma or transcript typically needs notarization of the Registrar's signature before the California Secretary of State will issue an apostille. We coordinate the notarization through the CSUSM Registrar, then submit the prepared document for apostille.
Does CSUSM complete the apostille?
CSUSM's Registrar handles notarized document requests. The California Secretary of State apostille is a separate stage that Inkcredible completes once the notarized document is returned.
Can an electronic transcript be apostilled?
Often not. Many destinations require an original ink-signed paper document. An electronic transcript frequently cannot be notarized in the form an apostille requires.
Does my diploma need to be notarized first?
In most cases, yes. A university diploma usually requires notarization of the registrar's signature before the California Secretary of State will apostille it.
How long does a California apostille take?
It depends on CSUSM's processing, the California Secretary of State, and the document type. We don't imply guaranteed timelines. Rush options exist for eligible documents when availability allows.
Is Inkcredible affiliated with CSUSM?
No. Inkcredible is an independent document-processing service, not affiliated with or endorsed by California State University San Marcos.
