HRD Attestation:

The verification of your Indian educational documents (degree, diploma, mark list) by the state HRD or education department.

This confirms the authenticity of your educational qualification before the next level of attestation.

MEA Apostille:

After HRD attestation (or relevant state authentication), your documents are submitted to the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) for the Apostille stamp.

The Apostille seal makes your documents legally valid in all Hague-Convention countries.

Processing Time

For educational documents, state authentication + MEA Apostille may take 3-5 weeks or more depending on the state and workload.

Validity

The Apostille does not expire by itself; however, the receiving country or issuing employer may have specific validity requirements.

Worldwide Transcripts & Fees

State HRD authentication fees vary by state and document type. Always verify the exact cost before submission, as service and courier charges can add up.
