Types of Documents:
Type of Document What it is?
Apostille An apostille is a certification process that ensures that the document(s) issued by that country are recognized as valid in other countries. This will require you to present your records to the authorized body of education in your region.
Please note that an Apostille is not required unless specified.
Attested True Copy
A copy of your diploma and/or academic record that is verified as authentic by the issuing institution. This will require you to present your records to your school who can attest that they have seen the original(s) and provide a certified or an attested true copy.
This attested true copy should be sent directly to Berklee Online in a sealed envelope that has been stamped or signed across the back flap.
Certifying Statement of Results A certifying statement of results is an official copy of the final examination results issued by your examination board. It should list the subjects you completed and the grades or scores that you earned.
This document should be sent directly to Berklee Online by your examination board in a sealed envelope that has been stamped or signed across the back flap. Electronic delivery of certifying statement of results is accepted in some cases, provided it is sent securely and directly to Berklee Online by the examination board.

Type of Document What it is?
Literal English Translations If your document is not issued in English, you will need to provide a certified, literal English translation. The translation must be literal, word-for-word, complete, and in a similar format as the original. It should be completed by your institution, an embassy, or a professional translation service.
Note we cannot accept translations prepared by students.
Official Document An official document is one provided by an issuing authority (Ministry of Education, institution, examination board, etc.) in a sealed envelope that has been stamped or signed across the back flap by the appropriate administrator. This should be sent directly by the issuing authority to Berklee Online.
Should the issuing authority give you the sealed envelope with the appropriate document inside, you can send it to Berklee Online provided you have not opened the envelope or tampered with the seal.
Do NOT send original, personal copies of your documents as these will NOT be returned.
Photocopy or Scan Some documents are acceptable as a photocopy or scan of the original. Just make sure that the copy is legible and that it includes both sides of the document(s). Copies and scans are only permissible where indicated. In most cases an official document is required.
