Section 1399.411 - Certification of Documentation(a) Domestic Transcripts. Documentation of transcripts or completion of an approved educational and training program ("program") as required by section 1399.416(a), or of supervised clinical hours, submitted by or on behalf of the applicant shall be originals, and certified by the appropriate official responsible for the records such as the registrar, or by governmental seal or other authority. Such documentation shall be mailed or sent by primary source (directly from the program to the Board) at its current physical address or email as listed on its website in an unopened, sealed envelope. Documentation may also be sent by secure electronic submission directly from the program or from a transcript service which contracts with the program. The Board shall waive the primary source requirement when it is determined that it cannot be obtained through the exercise of due diligence. For the purposes of this section, "due diligence" means the applicant provided documentation, signed and dated by the applicant, affirmatively declaring that the applicant first attempted to obtain documentation directly from the program, then attempted to obtain documentation from the program's appointed custodian of records, if applicable, and both attempts are ineffective.(b) Foreign Transcripts. For transcripts of education received outside of the United States, the Board shall only accept certified copies of original transcripts used by an approved credential evaluation service and provided directly to the Board by that service as provided in section 1399.416.3.Cal. Code Regs. Tit. 16, § 1399.411
