What is HRD attestation?

What HRD attestation means for educational documents

HRD stands for Human Resource Development: the state's education department. HRD attestation means that department has confirmed with your university or board that the certificate is genuine and has stamped it. MEA will not attest or apostille an educational document without this state check, or its online equivalent.

MEA e-Sanad is the Ministry of External Affairs' online verification system. For many universities and boards it replaces the physical HRD step, because the institution confirms the document directly. Whether e-Sanad works for you depends on your university, so we check it before choosing the route.

Forms that ask for HRD & Home Department attestation mean whichever state step fits your document: HRD for educational documents and the Home Department (or SDM in Delhi) for personal ones. Degree attestation, diploma attestation and marksheet attestation all start here, whether the degree is from Delhi, Karnataka or any other state.
