An apostille is an internationally recognized official seal that is issued by a state government. An apostille can be issued for documents that have been signed by a government official (or a Notary Public) of that same state. Some countries require transcripts to have the state seal (apostille). If your family is leaving the U.S. and needs to have the state seal added to your child’s school record, please refer to the following information.

To receive the state seal, you will need to have your child’s school transcripts notarized by your school’s notary. Then you may submit your documents that need an apostille to the Indiana Secretary of State‘s office to request for the state seal.
