FAQs

The organization wants an ink stamp, watermark, or handwritten signature.

We suggest that you provide the organization with your electronic official transcript (eTranscript), which is a digitally signed and certified PDF document that can be delivered electronically worldwide in as little as 15 minutes from when you place your order, or your printed official transcript, which is printed on the McGill secured red paper, has a watermark, and is provided in a sealed envelope.
