What Auburn University publishes about translated documents

The Auburn University Graduate School instructs international applicants to provide an official original-language transcript and final diploma or certificate, each accompanied by a certified English translation. Official copies from every institution attended must reach the Graduate School at 106 Hargis Hall before registration, and the school’s own credential evaluators determine degree equivalency.

Undergraduate admission works differently. International freshmen and transfer applicants submit official evaluated transcripts from an independent credential service, with a grade point average listed. Auburn names World Education Services as its preferred evaluator and strongly encourages evaluations from NACES member organizations, in document-by-document or course-by-course form.

Auburn’s Office of International Student and Scholar Services, part of the Office of International Programs, reports that the campus hosts more than 2,500 international students, visiting scholars and employees from over 100 nations each year.

Southern Union State Community College in Opelika

Southern Union’s catalog requires international students who graduated outside the United States to submit a certified, original, translated and evaluated copy of the high school transcript. Transfer students also need a translated and evaluated transcript from each college attended.

The catalog lists the services it accepts for this: SpanTran, World Education Services, Educational Credential Evaluators, or Josef Silny and Associates. Course descriptions must accompany evaluations and transcripts. Because the college names specific providers, confirm with admissions whether a separate certified translation will be accepted before you order one.

Alabama apostille steps for Auburn documents

The Alabama Secretary of State issues apostilles for Hague Convention countries and certifications for other countries. Either one costs $5.00 per document. Download the Authentication Submittal Form from sos.alabama.gov and send it with the document to P.O. Box 5616, Montgomery, AL 36103-5616, or bring it to 11 South Union Street, Suite 224, Montgomery, AL 36130, between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. on weekdays. No processing time is published in the state’s handbook.

Two published rules affect translated paperwork. First, any document in a foreign language must come with a notarized English translation or the request is rejected. Second, a notarized document that needs a Certification must also carry a county authentication of the notary’s commission from the probate judge’s office in the notary’s county. For a Lee County notary, that is the Probate Office on South Ninth Street in Opelika.

An Alabama birth, death, marriage or divorce certificate bound for abroad is ordered from the Center for Health Statistics with the apostille included, at $25.00 each. The Department of Public Health says these cannot be requested online or at county health departments; phone (334) 206-5418.
