Apostille Certifications

An apostille is a form of authentication appropriate to countries which have signed the 1961 Hague Convention Abolishing the Requirement of Legalization for Foreign Public Documents.

Thomas Edison State University will honor requests for apostille certifications. Upon a student's written request, the University will provide the required documents for the student to send to the State of New Jersey Department of the Treasury, Division of Revenue and Enterprise Services, to complete the apostille certification process.

To begin the process, students should send signed written requests for an apostille to:

Attn: Apostille Request

Office of the Registrar

Thomas Edison State University

111 W. State St.

Trenton, NJ 08608

Requests must include the following:

The student’s contact information (including name, mailing address, telephone number and email address)
The document(s) being requested – official transcript
$18 fee, duplicate diploma $35 fee, letter certifying graduation – no fee
An international money order or personal check (drawn from a United States bank) payable to “Thomas Edison State University” for the amount of the requested document or make payment online
A self-addressed return envelope so that the documents may be returned directly to the student once they have been processed by Thomas Edison State University

The student will then need to submit all required documents and fees to the State of New Jersey Department of the Treasury, Division of Revenue and Enterprise Services.
