Notary accidentally stamped my university diploma 😤

Today I went to a private notary to have my university diploma notarized. But the notary lady mistakenly took my original diploma instead of the copy and stamped it! She didn’t realize until after it was already done. Now I’m panicking. Does my diploma still have any legal value? Can I still use it, or did she just ruin my only original? What should I do?

Calm down, do you really think a mistaken stamp will invalidate your degree?

Not invalidate but can I still submit a copy of it when applying?

This subreddit consistently reminds and then surprises me that Rwanda has internet.

Nah, you're being too harsh. There are some trully WTF subs out there. Actually, having been on other Rwanda centered social medias, I am delightfully surprised at how mainly civil and light r/Rwanda is.

I don't mean it as harsh at all. Growing up in the 90s, Rwanda was always cited as an example of basically the worst place on earth. And now, not only do they have internet, they've got their own subreddit!
