Texas Secretary of State apostille coordination for Sam Houston State University graduates and international students. Diploma copies, transcripts, and academic certifications — from $225 for your first document, all-inclusive, with international shipping coordinated to any destination.
We have direct experience with SHSU document apostille — most recently coordinating documents for an international client requiring apostille and DHL international shipping to China. Sam Houston State is approximately 3.5 hours from our Cibolo base. We coordinate by mail with full chain-of-custody documentation. We have established workflows for SHSU document handling.
If you're a SHSU graduate or current international student needing an apostille, the process involves three parties: SHSU's registrar, the Texas Secretary of State, and our office coordinating between them.
Most SHSU apostille requests come from graduates who need their academic credentials authenticated for foreign employment, immigration, professional licensing abroad, or admission to international graduate programs. Common destinations for SHSU graduates include China, India, Mexico, Vietnam, and Saudi Arabia.
SHSU's registrar issues sealed official transcripts. Diploma copies are processed through the Diploma Office. Both document types are accepted for Texas SOS apostille.
For SHSU registrars and International Student Services staff: we are an established Texas-licensed apostille coordination service that frequently handles SHSU document authentication for international students and graduates.
We can serve as a referral resource for students who need apostille assistance, accept document shipments directly from SHSU (when authorized by the student), and coordinate the entire SOS submission and international delivery process. Our typical SHSU-related student needs include diploma copies, sealed transcripts, and verification of program completion documents for international employment, visa applications, or foreign graduate admissions.
Institutional partnerships available. For universities looking to formalize a referral relationship or establish bulk processing terms, we offer institutional pricing, dedicated intake forms, status reporting, and consolidated invoicing. We are SDVOSB / WOSB / VOSB federally certified and SAM.gov registered for institutional and government engagements.
Request a sealed official transcript or certified diploma copy from SHSU's registrar. The registrar's seal must remain unbroken — do not open the envelope.
Mail the sealed documents to Texas Notary Kristy in Cibolo, TX, or have SHSU ship directly to us. We confirm receipt and intake within one business day.
We submit your documents to the Texas Secretary of State in Austin for apostille certification. Standard processing is 10-15 business days; expedited options available.
Apostilled documents are shipped via DHL or USPS to your final destination. International shipping fully coordinated — tracked, insured, and customs-ready.
All fees confirmed in writing before any work begins. Most graduates choose the Standard mail-in tier; the Executive Tier adds registrar retrieval and in-person filing.
Built for graduates and individuals. You mail or drop off your documents; they are filed in the next scheduled Secretary of State submission. Covers the $15 state filing fee, notarization where required, pre-submission eligibility review, secure custody, and written status updates. Standard processing 10–15 business days. No document retrieval or priority handling at this tier.
Everything in Standard, plus in-person retrieval of your diploma or transcript from the registrar, an in-person Austin submission rather than a batched filing, and Kristy as your single point of contact throughout. Priority hand-carried handling available for a flat $150, reducing processing to 5–7 business days.
Flat $150 international shipping and handling, tracked, to any destination. Domestic return is $25 USPS or $35 FedEx/UPS. Certified translation is available at cost, $50–$60 per page by language, plus a flat $65 coordination fee.
We coordinate apostille shipping to any country worldwide. Common destinations for SHSU graduates include:
Each country may have specific requirements for the apostille (e.g., translation, additional embassy authentication for non-Hague countries). We advise on country-specific requirements during intake.
