As a service to UCI students and alumni, the Registrar's Office offers a notary service for official university documents produced by or distributed by the University Registrar.
You may elect to use your own notary. Details on this option are provided below.
What we will notarize
- Diplomas
- Official Transcripts
- Verifications
Only an official academic transcript or verification is eligible for notarization; photocopies or other reproductions are unacceptable.
A copy of your diploma can be notarized, provided that your original diploma is presented at the time the copy is notarized.
How Notarization Works with Registrar Services
When you present your original diploma or have the Registrar's Office issue
you an official transcript or verification, the University Registrar will produce
and sign a letter attesting to the authenticity of your document. A notary will
witness and verify the signing of the attestation by the University Registrar.

The notarization fee is added to the standard fees, if applicable, for Registrar Services.
Expedited shipping services are available for $25 per unique address.
Fees may be paid in person at the Central Cashier or by mail along with the fees required for the document(s) you are requesting.

Foreign Use of Notarized Documents
The Secretary of State of California provides apostilles or certifications for
documents to be used outside the United States. After your documents are notarized at
the Registrar's Office, students who still require an apostille or certification for a
foreign country or institution should review the
California Secretary of State website
for instructions on obtaining an apostille or certification.
