Authentication Certificates for academic records are handled by the Secretary of State of California in Sacramento. The process starts by ordering a duplicate diploma. The university orders diplomas at the beginning of each month and they are received in approximately 6-8 weeks.\u00a0 Once we receive the diploma, the requested documents notarized.\u00a0 They are then sent to Sacramento along with a check for their fee for the service, $20\/document.\u00a0 Once we have received them from the Secretary of State, we will check all documents and send them to their final mailing destination. The process can take up to 4 months from the time payment is received.<\/strong><\/p>\n
