San Diego State University does not provide in-house notary or apostille services. If notarization is required, students must independently arrange for a mobile notary to come to the Office of the Registrar. While our office does not process apostilles, we can coordinate with a notary to facilitate the notarization of university-issued documents (such as diplomas or transcripts) as part of the apostille process.

For more information on obtaining an apostille, please visit the California Secretary of State Request an Apostille website.

Important Notice

Notary assistance for university documents is temporarily suspended during peak processing periods, specifically:

• The first two weeks of each semester
• The final two weeks of each semester

We strongly encourage you to review the Academic Calendar and plan accordingly for any time-sensitive notarization or apostille requests.
