Depends on your state.
Some will only apostille the original and it has to be notarized by your university registrar. My degree is from KS but I'm from AR. The Sec of State for AR accepted a notarized copy from an AR notary of my diploma and apostilled it. My advice: call your Sec. of State ASAP and get confirmation from them.
You don't need to mail it to DC, just figure out what the rules of your state are. Best of luck to you! |

You can get the degree apostille from the state where the school is located. The idea of apostilles in the first place is that an authority in the location issuing the document duly swears that said document is authentic. Therefore, if your university is in Illinois, like mine, an Illinois authority apostilles its degrees as genuine. The Illinois authority wouldn't have anything to say about a degree from Massachusetts. Some states will do degrees from anyplace [maybe California?], but the safest way is to use the state where the school is.
The reason you send FBI CBCs to be Federally apostilled is because they are Federal documents, transcending any single state. |

| Another option is just to order an original copy of your diploma from your university. Mine cost $35 and came pretty quickly and now I have an extra to use for things like getting a visa in Korea. |

I got my diploma from Florida, but currently reside in Hawaii. I hope they are able to apostille the diploma. I thought you had to have the apostilled copy and can not submit them the original. |

So you use one in lieu of an apostilled copy? Why not just use the one you have? Why do you need 2? You could order a second when you use up your first (like a carton of milk). |

| As far as I can recall I had someone at the UPS place in the city of West Virginia I was in notarize a copy of my diploma. I mailed that with a form to the capitol. This was done in the state where I obtained my diploma. I don't think you can do this in another state where you didn't get that diploma unless I am wrong. It can be a hassle because people go to other states after they graduate. |

| In MO I had an original degree, but to get the apostille, they made me get ANOTHER diploma from the university with some kind of stamp on the back saying it's legit.. lame |

You can't do that anymore, however. The new regulations require an apostilled copy. |

I just got a visa in July with my original copy. Maybe it was because I'm a certified teacher so they assumed my diploma was legit... who knows.
In response to an earlier comment: I got a spare so that if they lose it (which happens) or if it gets damaged, I still have my nice original copy.  |
