 |
|
Can someone else bring my diploma to the notary to get it notarized? Can they sign, in place of me, claiming that it's a true copy of my diploma? The reason is because I'm on vacation now and my diploma is at home.
I know they can get it apostilled for me...but what about notarization?
Thank you! |

Every state has their own rules about that. The registrar's office of your university may be willing to provide you with a notarized copy. |

I would also like to know this about this.
If someone else can't do it, maybe you could do a power of attorney? |

Yes. And if they won't, have whoever is doing for you take it to another notary public.
You only need to be there if they're notarizing your signature. But a True Copy stamp doesn't need your signature. The person doing this in your stead should be able to just show the original diploma and the notary public can put the appropriate stamps on the copies made.
Actually...you might need some statement about someone doing this for you. They did check my ID.
I'd ask naturegirl. She's had others do this for her. But I do know it's possible.
EDIT: I'll add to this by saying that if you're talking about this being done in the States, I'd strongly recommend calling the Secretary of State you're getting the apostlille done in to see what they require from the notary public. Can save you a lot of time and hassle.
Main thing is the notary public has to be in the same state as the Sec. Of State that you're getting the apostlille from. |

| If the degree is an original then you shouldn't need to sign anything. |

Well, when I did this in Washington State, Bank of America notarized my signature on the copies of the diploma, even though I had brought the original with me. There's really no consistency with notary publics. |
