| I'm currently in Korea. I got my mother to send in my documents to get the apostilles. It turns out she sent the actual diploma, not a copy. Is this going to be acceptable? |

If you use it you will lose it. Immigration will NOT return it (hence the reason for a certified true (notarized) copy).

But I can order a new one from my university for $50. It would be cheaper to do that than to go through the hassle of getting a copy with apostille.
Thanks for the info! |

Or you can spend the 50 dollars on a notary and save the hassle and time required to get a new degree. I have heard some school can take months to finally print a new one. Some unlucky people can not even order new ones as school refuse too. |

Not really. It should be notarized by someone in the state the degree was given.
Check the website of your states State Department, maybe they will offer notarization for an extra fee. |

| Can someone explain what a notarized copy is? I live across the states and this getting my diploma notarized in the state that the degree is in concerns me because I don't live there anymore. =( |
