Diploma Certificate Attestation

Diploma certificate attestation verifies your polytechnic, nursing, ITI or professional diploma so it is accepted for a job, licence or visa abroad. Diplomas are verified with the state board of technical education, nursing council or issuing university, attested by the state HRD department, and then apostilled or attested by the MEA and the embassy. We check that your institute is recognised before we start, so you never pay for a diploma that cannot be attested.

What is diploma attestation?

How diploma attestation differs from degree attestation

Degrees are verified with a university. Diplomas are usually issued by a State Board of Technical Education, a state nursing council, the NCVT / SCVT (for ITI) or a university's diploma programme. The state HRD department verifies the diploma with that body before it signs.

That extra body is why diploma certificate attestation can take longer, and why recognition matters. A private diploma certificate from an institute that is not affiliated to a state board or council cannot be verified by HRD. We check affiliation first, then confirm the route for your country.

  1. Board / council verification
  2. HRD attestation
  3. MEA apostille or attestation
  4. Embassy (if required)
Diploma Certificate Attestation process: Board / council verification → HRD attestation → MEA apostille or attestation → Embassy (if required)
