Degree Certificate Apostille Procedure in India
The process of a degree certificate apostille is not as complicated as it seems. There are only three steps professional agencies follow to validate your public documents for overseas use, eliminating the need for further legalization by embassies.
The procedure starts with original certificate validation from the issuing authority. For instance, your university or institute affixes its official stamp on your degree. Optionally, a Notary Public also attests the degree certificate in certain cases before sending your document for state-level verification.
After validation, your degree certificate is verified, depending on the requirement by the State Home Department (SDM), the Human Resource Department (HRD), or the Sub-Divisional Magistrate (SDM). They cross-verify the signature, seal, and issuing authority of your certificate. Absence or mismatch of any detail may delay the process.
Last, but most satisfying, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) in Delhi verifies the degree certificate and places the official apostille stamp or sticker, making the document legally acceptable for use in international universities and institutions.
