How to certify copies#

Certify every copy yourself before you scan it.

2. Write your signature on each page.
3. Write the date next to your signature.
4. Certify your ปพ.1 transcript on both the front and the back. Scan both sides.
5. Certify high school diplomas and English test scores in the same way.
6. Check that every scan is clear and legible.
