What is HRD attestation?
HRD attestation — the state check for educational documents
HRD attestation is the verification of an educational certificate by the state's Human Resource Development or Education Department. The department confirms with the university or board that the certificate is genuine and then attests it. Only after this will MEA accept the document.
- University / board verification
- State HRD attestation
- MEA attestation or apostille
- Embassy (if required)
e-Sanad: for many universities and boards, the MEA can verify educational documents online through its e-Sanad system, which can replace the physical HRD step. Whether this works for you depends on your university — we check before choosing the route.
HRD attestation is not the same as Home Department attestation, which is used for personal documents. See HRD vs Home Department attestation.
Documents covered
- Degree certificates (UG / PG)
- Diploma certificates
- Consolidated and semester marksheets
- Provisional certificates
- 10th and 12th certificates
- Transfer / migration certificates (as required)
Documents from CBSE, open universities and some deemed universities follow different routes. Tell us your board or university and we'll confirm.
