Do homeschool transcripts need to be notarized?
Asked by families. Answered by Peabody editors from the sources below.
No. None of the 49 state law pages Peabody keeps asks for a homeschool transcript to be notarized. In a homeschool the parent is the school, so the parent signs and dates it. A college or employer may ask for more, so read its own admissions page.

This is a plain-words summary, not legal advice. Laws change: check your state's current law and its education department before you act.
