|
|
Has anyone used an on-line service to get a diploma apostille?
If so, was it a good or bad experience, how much did it cost and how long did it take?
Thanks |

I read a story on a forum of someone who had trouble using an online apostille service. They paid upfront and it took forever to get the document done, emails and calls went unanswered. If you have someone you know, who can do it for you in person, it would be safer (and cheaper). |

Thanks, Samantha
Unfortunately my graduate degree is from Boston University and I know no one there. I have a chance to teach in the "licenciatura" in a Chiapas State University and the lack of an apostille for my original diploma is a major obstacle. |

I'm in a similar situation. I need an apostille on my degree from England and then one from the SEP here in Mexico. To get the one from the SEP I have to get apostilles on every single certificate I have from high school onwards (with translations and a transcript with a translation of course). Then I go to hacienda to pay, then I go to the SEP and they send everything to Mexico City, then I pay some more then... aaaggggg! You won't believe how absurd this tramite is, how long it will take and how much it will cost. It would have won that competition for tramite mas largo/inutil they were running a few weeks back. |
