Attestation of Awards
01/01/2015
If you wish to have a Cambridge International College Award attested, then CIC can arrange to do that for you.
Attestation involves a Notary Public (an official legal authority) ‘notarising’ a CIC Award document which confirms it is a legal, genuine official document. Usually an Apostille is then added which is the signature, stamp and seal of Her Britannic Majesty’s Lieutenant Governor or the British Foreign & Commonwealth Office (FCO) which further confirms and attests to the authenticity of the document. If required, that document can then be forwarded to a national Embassy in London for stamping/legalization.
Attestation is entirely optional, and only a small number of CIC Members or Graduates ask for this service. Some require Attestation for legal reasons, for immigration reasons, for employment purposes or for further educational purposes.
The charges (costs) and processes for attestation and for the addition of an Embassy stamp vary from Embassy to Embassy, so if you require your Award to be attested, please ask the College for details.
