I am from the UK and currently applying for a VN work permit. I have made an online payment to have ONE document authenticated by the UK government legalisation service, and am beginning to have second thoughts as to which document to send; my one-page, very grand-looking A3-sized "certificate" or "diploma", or my 7-page, A4-sized "transcript" which gives much more information but looks far less grand and would be far easier to forge.

I already have the 7-page transcript notarized, but can easily get the certificate done as well.

In short, has anyone succesfully applied for a WP with their multiple-page transcript, or does one need to use the certificate?

Any replies greatly appreciated, especially fast ones as I'd live to get this sent off before the weekend.

Seriously, you should ask someone in admin at your school that is responsible/in charge for this.

However some schools had admin/HR people that don't know.

But checking with them will ensure you get the right docs for first time. If....they know what they're doing, however.

I hate to say this, but you better check on this.

Original, sealed transcripts, or copies?

Notarized copy authenticated by the UK Government.

I trust the woman 95% as it is VUS that I work for and her sole job is to take care of work permits and visas. I asked her if she wanted me to get the certificate notarized/legalized as well (now that I am back in the UK anyway) and she categorically said that no, I can use the transcript, as long as -like any degree document- it is notarized/legalized.
