    Hi,

    I am looking for a job abroad and I need an apostilled copy of my university degree.

    I ordered a duplicate of the original in English (the original is in Latin) from NUI. I also ordered an authenticated copy. This copy is stamped as a 'CERTIFIED TRUE COPY' and is signed and dated.

    On the Dept. of Foreign Affairs website it states:

    Photocopies
    We can Authenticate/Apostille photocopies of certain types of documents provided they have been certified by a practising Irish Solicitor or Notary Public in Ireland.

    Can this copy by apostilled as is or do I need to get it certified by a Notary Public? :confused:

    If you need it to go abroad it usually has to certified by a notary public- that can cost up to €100.

    Check whether it needs to be certified or merely witness which any solicitor can do for a tenner.

    To the best of my knowledge the document must be certified by a Notary as the Department through to apostille procedure verify the signature of the the Notary.
