Bentley University Apostille Guide: Student Records & Waltham Coordination
Your Bentley records. Your next step abroad.
A clear plan before you order, notarize or mail your academic documents.
Whether you are starting a job, continuing your studies or completing a professional application overseas, start with the recipient’s written requirements. Boston Notary Service can review your requested preparation and coordinate the agreed assistance, subject to school release rules and service availability.
Use Bentley’s record-specific instructions
Bentley separates transcript preparation from diploma preparation. Its transcript instructions identify a paper pickup product and a Student Records Authentication Form. Diploma instructions call for the original diploma and protective packaging. Follow the current registrar page and confirm the order details before paying or shipping.
Name the person collecting your documents
Bentley asks for the name and contact information of anyone collecting prepared documents for you and requires that person to present photo identification. Confirm that the packet is ready and that the registrar has accepted the authorization before arranging a notary or courier visit.
Keep preparation and delivery costs separate
The registrar describes university preparation and forwarding arrangements. Ask which stages it already covers. A private coordination quote should identify the remaining collection, certification and return work, so you can compare equivalent options without paying for the same stage twice.
Your request checklist
The exact record: diploma, transcript, degree letter or enrollment verification.
Destination country, receiving organization and purpose.
Required signature, paper or electronic format, and any translation instructions.
Document location, school order status and any release authorization.
The date the completed packet must arrive and the return country.
How Boston Notary Service can help
Send the school, record type, destination and deadline through our apostille request form. Tell us which steps the registrar is already completing. We will review the remaining work, confirm available arrangements and provide a scope and quote before collection or processing begins. Wait for confirmed mailing instructions before sending originals.
Timing, costs and important distinctions
Plan around separate school preparation, government certification and shipping stages. A rush request needs confirmation; it does not change a registrar’s queue automatically. Request an itemized quote covering the agreed service and any applicable government, travel and delivery charges.
The school prepares the academic record. The appropriate government authority issues the apostille or authentication. Certification concerns the eligible signature or seal; it does not evaluate the degree or guarantee that a recipient accepts a particular document. Ask whether a verifiable electronic credential satisfies the recipient before ordering paper certification.
Already outside Massachusetts?
You can start the inquiry from abroad. Share where your records are and what the issuing office permits. Authorized pickup or delivery can only be arranged after readiness, release and service availability are confirmed.
