Apostille

An Apostille is confirmation that a document is authentic. Apostilles are most often needed by students who are working outside the United States of America and international students. The Apostille process does take time, both to produce the original document and for you to send and receive your documents from the State of New Mexico. Please plan accordingly.
When NMSU Student Records Office receives an apostille request, the staff will print the requested document(s), procure the signature of the University Registrar, and notarize the document. The document(s) and notary statement will be mailed, first class, to the address specified by you (the requestor).
It is your responsibility, as the requestor, to send the information to the State of New Mexico Secretary’s Office for the Apostille.
See the State of New Mexico Apostille Information for steps to complete after you have receive the notarized documents from New Mexico State University.
 
NOTE: Only current students can receive a notarized Enrollment Verification. Former students should order official transcripts.
