Degree Certificate Attestation & Apostille

Degree certificate attestation is what a foreign employer, university or visa office asks for before it accepts your Indian degree. Your degree is verified with the university, attested by the state HRD department or through MEA e-Sanad, and then apostilled or attested by the Ministry of External Affairs and the embassy. We handle degree attestation for every Indian university from our New Ashok Nagar, Delhi office, with tracked courier for out-of-town clients.

What is degree attestation?

Why foreign authorities need your degree attested

A degree printed in India carries no stamp that a foreign government recognises. Degree attestation adds that recognition, one stamp at a time: the university confirms it issued the degree, the state verifies the university, and the Ministry of External Affairs confirms the state.

For Hague Convention countries such as Saudi Arabia, the USA, the UK and most of Europe, the chain ends with an MEA apostille. For embassy countries such as Qatar, Kuwait and Iran, MEA attestation is followed by embassy attestation, and sometimes by the foreign ministry in that country.

Degree attestation vs degree verification

Employers abroad sometimes ask for both. They are different services.

Degree attestation

Government stamps on the certificate itself: HRD or e-Sanad, MEA, embassy. Needed for visas and legal recognition.

Background verification

A report by a verification agency (for example for Gulf licensing bodies) confirming your degree and experience. Separate from attestation.

Apostille

The final MEA stamp for Hague countries. Replaces embassy attestation for those countries.

FAQs

Degree attestation: frequently asked questions

What is degree certificate attestation?

It is the verification of your degree by the university and state HRD department (or MEA e-Sanad), followed by the MEA apostille or MEA and embassy attestation, so it is accepted abroad.

Is degree attestation required for a job abroad?

For most Gulf countries and many others, yes. Employment visas and work permits are usually issued only after the degree is attested.

How long does degree attestation take?

Usually 1–4 weeks. e-Sanad degrees for apostille countries are quickest. Embassy countries and out-of-state universities take longer.

Do I need to attest my marksheets too?

Only if the employer, university or authority asks for them. Many ask for the degree alone. Check your list, or send it to us.

Can a provisional certificate be attested?

Some states and countries accept it, but many want the final degree. We check this for your destination first.

Can I attest a degree from a distance or open university?

Yes, if the university and programme are recognised. It follows the same verification route.

What if my degree is laminated?

Most authorities refuse laminated certificates. Ask the university for a duplicate or talk to us about options.

Do I need to send the original degree?

Yes. Attestation is done on the original. We return it by tracked courier.
