Certificates and transcripts

Certificates are usually printed and distributed within eight weeks following the confirmation of award at an examination board.

Whilst you are waiting for your certificate and transcript to be printed, you can use your results letter as evidence that you have successfully completed your course. If you have not received your results letter, please contact your school.

Your degree certificate is an important legal document and should be treated as such, therefore you will only ever have one original certificate. If this is lost or damaged, you can purchase a replacement certificate via our online shop.

If you have any outstanding debts with the University, your certificate will not be printed until your debt is settled in full. For further information, please contact the Income and Treasury Team on +44 (0)161 295 0023 (option 2, option 1) or by email income-treasury@salford.ac.uk  Please quote your student ID number in the email.

An Apostille is a legal certification that makes a document from one country valid in another country (provided that both countries are signatories to the 1961 Hague Convention Abolishing the Requirement for Legalisation for Foreign Public Documents).

In the UK, the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) Legalisation Department is the office that has the responsibility of issuing an Apostille certificate to documents originating from the UK.

The University cannot issue an Apostille.

• Apply to a recognised Public Notary to have the relevant documents notarised.
• Apply to the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) to have your notarised documents legalised and an Apostille issued.
