How Fisher College documents work
Fisher College's Office of the Registrar is on Beacon Street in Back Bay. Current students and alumni order official transcripts online through Parchment, and Fisher says orders are processed within 3 business days. If your transcript is going abroad, Fisher asks you to choose the FedEx option and include an international phone number.
Fisher's transcript page doesn't mention notarization, apostilles or replacement diplomas, so ask the Registrar about those. Need it faster? Some institutions will accept a certified copy of your academic record. In those cases, we can come to you, notarize the document and provide an expedited apostille. Please confirm this option is acceptable with the recipient first. Otherwise, we partner with the school to ensure international acceptance.
Out of state or abroad? You don't need to be here. When your recipient requires the school to certify your record, it's the school official who signs before the notary, not you, and we process the record with the school directly. So you don't need to come to Boston or appear before a notary. We coordinate everything with the registrar, using your signed letter of authorization when the school requires one, and ship the finished documents to you anywhere in the world. See our sample letter of authorization.

How your Fisher College record gets notarized
Massachusetts will apostille an academic record notarized with any of its four notarial acts: acknowledgment, jurat (affidavit), signature witnessing or copy certification. Which one you need is usually set by whoever receives your documents, so we confirm their requirements before we start.
School official acknowledgment
A Fisher College official signs your diploma, transcript or verification letter before the notary, and the notarial certificate names the official, their title and the school. Ministries of education and universities abroad often require this.
School official affidavit
The Fisher College Registrar signs a separate sworn statement confirming your graduation and that the attached records match the school's files, and the notary notarizes it. Spain's Ministry of Education, for example, accepts only this or an acknowledgment. See our Spain guide.
Certified copy, only if your recipient accepts it
As the owner of your diploma, you present the original and we notarize a certified copy, then get the apostille in 1–2 business days. Many recipients won't accept a copy certification, so please confirm with yours first.
Prepared right the first time
We coordinate with the Fisher College Registrar, prepare the notarial certificate with the details your recipient requires, and file with the Massachusetts Secretary of the Commonwealth. For the school-certified routes, you don't need to come to Boston.
Which documents will you need?
The receiving office decides. If its instructions aren't clear, send them to us and we'll tell you which documents to order.
Diploma only
Many employers and some visa offices ask only for the degree.
Transcript only
Licensing bodies and graduate programs often want the full academic record.
Diploma and transcript
Common in Europe and for professional registration. Each document gets its own apostille.
Verification letter
Some recipients accept a Registrar's letter confirming your degree, which can be apostilled once it's signed and notarized.
Planning your order
Order the right number
Each document gets its own apostille. If you need a diploma and a transcript, plan for both.
Check the destination's rules
Some countries want only the diploma. Others want the full transcript. Send us the instructions you received.
Mind your deadline
Fisher processes transcript orders within 3 business days. The Massachusetts apostille usually takes 1–2 business days after that.
Translation
Some countries want the documents translated. We can add a certified translation in the same order.
Mistakes Fisher College graduates avoid
- Shipping abroad without FedEx. Fisher requires the FedEx option for international transcripts.
- Using an unofficial transcript. A portal printout can't be apostilled.
- Mailing your only original diploma. Ask us about a certified copy first.
- Skipping the translation question. Some countries want the records and the apostille translated.
What to have ready
- Your degree, graduation year and your name as it appears on the record
- Which documents you need: diploma, transcript, verification letter or all three
- The destination country and the office, school or employer that will receive them
- Their written instructions, if they gave you any
- Whether you need a certified translation
- Your deadline and where the finished documents should go

Frequently asked questions
How do I order a Fisher College transcript?
Online through Parchment. Fisher says orders are processed within 3 business days, and transcripts going abroad must use the FedEx option.
Should the transcript go to me or to you?
It depends on your destination and the route we use. Ask us before you order, and we'll tell you where to send it.
Can I get my Fisher College diploma apostilled?
Yes. A diploma has to be notarized before the Massachusetts Secretary of the Commonwealth will apostille it. Massachusetts accepts any of its four notarial acts, but many recipients require the school to certify the record, so we confirm what yours needs first. We confirm the version your destination accepts and handle the apostille and return shipping.
Should I mail my original diploma?
Usually not. Many graduates order a replacement diploma or an official copy for the apostille so the original stays safe. Ask us before ordering.
Do I need a certified translation too?
Some countries require one. We can include a certified translation in the same order.
I live outside Massachusetts. Can you still help?
Yes. Massachusetts school records are apostilled in Massachusetts, and we handle it by mail and ship the finished documents anywhere in the world.
Can my digital or electronic diploma be apostilled?
Usually not as it is. A certified electronic diploma is a secure file that the recipient verifies online, and some recipients accept it directly, so ask them first. For an apostille, Massachusetts needs a notarized paper document: usually a notarized copy of your diploma, a notarized transcript or a notarized degree verification letter. Tell us what your recipient asked for and we’ll confirm the right route.
Need your Fisher College documents apostilled?
Tell us where they're going, and we'll confirm every step.
