How Mount Ida College documents work
When Mount Ida College closed in 2018, UMass Amherst became its institution of record. The UMass Amherst Office of the University Registrar now handles Mount Ida transcripts and replacement diplomas. Transcripts are ordered through UMass Amherst's transcript service.
UMass Amherst notarizes its own transcripts and diplomas, but its page doesn't say whether that includes Mount Ida records, so ask the Registrar when you order. 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 Mount Ida 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 Mount Ida 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 Mount Ida 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 Mount Ida 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.

Frequently asked questions
Who has Mount Ida College records now?
UMass Amherst is the institution of record for Mount Ida College. Its Office of the University Registrar handles Mount Ida transcripts and replacement diplomas.
Can I still get my Mount Ida diploma apostilled?
Yes. The document has to be issued or notarized in the right form first. We confirm what your destination accepts, coordinate the documents and handle the Massachusetts apostille.
Can UMass Amherst notarize my Mount Ida transcript?
UMass Amherst notarizes its own transcripts and diplomas, but its page doesn't say whether that includes Mount Ida records. Ask the Registrar, or ask us about other options.
Do I need a certified translation too?
Some countries require one. We can include it in the same order.
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.
