Apostille/Notary of Diploma
Apostille Process
To obtain an apostille for a diploma, the document must be signed by a university official before a notary. In Tennessee, submit it to the Shelby County Clerk for notary validation, then to the Tennessee Secretary of State for final apostille issuance. This process authenticates diplomas for international use.
- Order a duplicate diploma via this link https://umwa.memphis.edu/diploma-reorder. Please indicate on the address portion of the form to send to Registrar’s Office for Apostille.
- Send a letter to the Registrar’s Office listing all details including where the diploma should be sent after the Apostille process is completed.
