<p>I know Common Application says that teacher and counselor recommendations can be photocopied, but does it also apply to other documents? I mean, transcript, school profile or fee waiver request. Do they need an original signature or are photocopies accepted?</p>
<p>The main reason I ask is that I am an international student and our school only issues one transcript per student. That means I can send an authentic copy to only one college.</p>
<p>At my school, there was no signature on the school profile, so we made copies. Also, at my school we made copies of transcripts, but we put stamps of the signatures on. I think that as long as it has the signature, it's fine. You could put a notice explaining your situation, just to be safe.</p>
<p>So there has to be an original signature or stamp, no matter what. Right?</p>
<p>So many views and just one reply. That means there are many interested about it. Nobody can clear this out?</p>
<p>I think, you can photocopy but everything should be signed, attested after the photocopy. Photocopied stamps have no value at all!</p>
<p>The transcript must be "official" which means it must have an original signature or seal. In that way, the school knows that it has not been altered. A photocopied transcript does not meet this requirement.</p>
<p>School reports can be photocopied.</p>
<p>I don't know about fee waiver requests.</p>
<p>Since you have a specific problem, you may wish to contact the International Admissions office at the schools to which you wish to apply, and ask them about it.</p>
