After receiving a degree the first thing one thinks of is preserving the degree.
In doing so one should not go as far as laminating it, especially when they are planning to pursue their education abroad.
The degree is expected by officials abroad to be stamped, sealed and signed by various authorities, in order to confirm its authenticity.
you are advised to take some other simple steps for preserving it.

can't we just break open the lamination when needed. Laminating a certificate would not cost much, so you can do that without much guilt. And what are the other simple steps that you have to say?

ya someone actually tried to remove the lamination and all the printed part just got stuck to the transparent plastic.
Simple steps are really simple, like putting it in a transparent cover which then goes into a file folder and which already has two punched holes on the left.

Another thing what I would recommend you to do is to make multiple copies of all your certificates so that you don't run out of them at the wrong time.
Otherwise a lot of precious last moments will be wasted in photo copying the certificates instead of submitting them for processing.
Another recommendation is to scan all your certificates and passport.
You need to have those special type of paper covers for transcripts in excess, the envelopes I meant to say.

Ah really. Good I'm old now, my diploma would just remained to be laminated. Funny what I heard when one takes a review for real estate brokers, participants need to carry their laminated diplomas when their transcripts are not available.
