ID for international students and visiting scholars

A foreign passport is acceptable ID in California if it’s current or was issued within the last five years and has a photo, a physical description, a signature and an ID number (Civil Code § 1185). Some passports leave out the physical description or signature; if yours does, bring a second ID such as a California ID card. A foreign driver’s license isn’t acceptable unless it’s from Mexico or Canada.

Common questions

Is there a notary near Pepperdine?

Yes. We come to you anywhere around Malibu and the Pepperdine campus, including apartments, offices and hotels, often the same day. Call (424) 484-9268 or book online.

Can I use my student ID?

No. A student ID isn’t on California’s list of acceptable IDs. Use a passport, a U.S. driver’s license or a state ID card.

Can you apostille my diploma?

Often, yes. The steps depend on the school and the country it’s going to. See diploma and transcript apostilles.
