Frequently Asked Questions

Do foreign clubs require apostilled diplomas?

Many European and Asian clubs require apostilled educational credentials as part of the work permit application for foreign players.

Can you apostille an NCAA eligibility letter?

If the NCAA letter is notarized, we can obtain the document after review. We recommend requesting a notarized version directly from the NCAA.

What is a loan-out company and why does it need an apostille?

A loan-out company is a personal services corporation used by athletes for tax purposes. Foreign clubs often require apostilled articles of incorporation and operating agreements.

Request official sealed transcripts from your university, have them notarized, then bring them to our office for apostille processing. Timing and options confirmed after document review.

Prepare your documents with confidence

A move from college sport to professional activity can involve education, employment and eligibility records. Confirm the responsible organization’s checklist rather than assuming one document package covers every recipient.

A sports assignment can involve an employer, federation, immigration office and representative, each asking for different evidence. Separate professional or competition eligibility from visa paperwork and private contracts. Ask the responsible organization which records must be authenticated and whether the documents need to be sent directly by their issuer.

Check that all pages, certification sheets and attachments are present. Keep the recipient’s written instructions and confirm where completed documents should be delivered. Timing is confirmed after document review and depends on preparation, the competent authority, translation and delivery.

Tell us the document, its issuer, destination country and intended use, and your deadline. We will review preparation, translation and delivery options before confirming an estimate and timing. Ask for instructions before mailing originals. Please mail with a tracking number.

Identify the recipient and purpose of each record: employment, competition registration, representation or travel.

Have the appropriate professional approve contract or authorization wording before signatures are completed.

Check names, minors’ representation where applicable, document age, translations and any required issuing-body certification.

Does an apostille establish eligibility for a team, league or visa?

No. The federation, league, employer or immigration authority makes that decision. Authentication helps establish the origin of a submitted document.

What should I confirm before requesting an estimate?

Provide the document, issuer, destination, intended use, number of copies and deadline. Include the recipient’s checklist if available. This allows preparation, certification, translation and delivery to be reviewed before a cost estimate is confirmed.
