Why you need a degree certificate apostille
Universities, employers and licensing bodies abroad need proof that your Indian qualification is genuine. An MEA apostille on your degree certificate gives them that proof in every country that is part of the Apostille Convention.
Educational documents follow a slightly different path from personal ones. Depending on the destination and the institution asking, your certificate may need university verification and attestation by the state education department (HRD), or it may go through notary and Home Department or SDM attestation. Choosing the wrong route is the most common reason for delays, so we confirm it before we start.
Each document is apostilled separately. If you need your degree certificate and all your marksheets, each one gets its own apostille.
We handle a degree certificate apostille as part of our certificate apostille services in Mumbai, alongside birth, marriage, degree and business documents.

Timeline and cost
How long does a degree certificate apostille take?
On the Home Department or SDM route, most degree certificates are ready in as little as 5 working days. The HRD route takes longer because your university must verify the document first; we give you a realistic date for your university before you commit.
What affects the cost?
Educational apostille costs depend on the route (HRD involves university verification), the number of documents (degree, marksheets, transcripts are each apostilled separately) and the state that issued them. You get one combined quote for the whole set.
