Notary Public Services

IDENTIFICATION REQUIREMENTS FOR ALL NOTARY PUBLIC SERVICES

A valid government issued identification card with photograph and signature is required for all notary public services offered at the UT Arlington Office of the Registrar. A student ID does not meet this requirement. Examples of acceptable identification are:

  • A current driver's license from Texas or any other state, that displays the person's photograph and signature.
  • A current government issued United States passport.
  • A current U.S. military ID that displays the person's photograph and signature.
  • A current foreign passport is acceptable for residential real estate transactions only. 

SERVICES

Notary services are available to currently enrolled students, graduates, and UT Arlington faculty and staff for Official Transcripts and Diplomas only.

The Office of the Registrar provides notary services by appointment only.

To request a notarized diploma, please complete the Notary Request Form. You may choose to have your notarized diploma mailed to you or pick it up in person.

If you select the pickup option, you will receive an email once your document is ready with instructions to schedule your appointment. Appointments require at least 24 hours' advance notice and are available Monday through Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., excluding university holidays.

  • All signer(s) must appear in person.
  • All signer(s) must present a valid government-issued photo ID.
  • Documents must be unsigned prior to the appointment.

  • All signer(s) must sign the notary journal, provide their full legal name and current mailing address, and may be asked to provide a right-hand thumbprint.

Notarized Official Transcript

To request a notarized Official Transcript, please visit our Ordering Transcripts webpage and submit your transcript order. Your notarized transcript will be emailed to the email address provided on your order request.

 

If you will be presenting your diploma(s) and/or official transcripts to a foreign country, then the Office of the Registrar at UT Arlington will provide notarized letters of authentication for UT Arlington diplomas and official transcripts.

Once you have received these letters from the UT Arlington Office of the Registrar, you will need to contact the Office of the Texas Secretary of State to obtain an apostille. UT Arlington no longer provides documents to the Texas Secretary of State for apostille purposes. The Texas Secretary of State is the official entity which issues the apostille for documents originating in Texas, and the requestor must provide the documents and fees to that agency.
