ISSS cannot issue you a new I-20 without this request. If you do not submit a complete request before the end of your 60 day grace period you will lose your legal status. ISSS asks that all requests be submitted no later than the start of the last month of the current term (May 1, August 1, or December 1) to ensure we are able to issue your new I-20 promptly after the end of the term.

Apostille (International Certifications)

Apostille is a French word which means a certification. It is commonly used as the legalization of a document for international use under the terms of the 1961 Hague Convention.

The University Registrar currently makes the following general documents available for the apostille process: transcripts, enrollment/degree certification and replacement diplomas. If you require additional services, such as a replacement/duplicate diploma, please note details for your apostille when ordering your transcript. Prior to sending back to the address provided, our office will send certification documents to the Department of State in Indianapolis, Indiana.

Requestors should provide the following:

• Transcript
• Country certification is being processed
• Address to send the completed documents
• A scanned copy of their diploma (a replacement/duplicate would need to be ordered if original is not available)

Please note: Purdue University staff cannot advise requestors on the international apostille process. It is the requestors' responsibility to follow the procedures outlined by the Department of State Office of Authentications.

Given the additional complexity of notarization, please allow 4 to 6 weeks for the completed certification.

The Office of Student Services will verify that each student meets all degree and certification requirements after graduation and submit completed certification packets to the Alabama State Department of Education.

Timeline
