HRD & Home Department Attestation

HRD Attestation is specifically carried out for educational documents such as degrees, diplomas, and certificates. The respective state’s HRD Department authenticates these documents before they can be further attested by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) or foreign embassies.

Home Department Attestation applies to personal and non-educational documents such as birth certificates, marriage certificates, affidavits, and death certificates. The State Home Department verifies and authenticates these documents.
