Degree Certificate Attestation Process in Maharashtra
Notary Attestation
Your degree is first attested by a registered Notary Public who verifies the document and applies their official seal and signature.
University Verification (if required)
Some HRD departments or embassies require direct verification from the issuing university before proceeding. We coordinate this on your behalf.
HRD Attestation (Maharashtra)
The Higher & Technical Education Department of Maharashtra attests the degree after verifying it with the issuing university.
MEA Attestation / Apostille
After HRD attestation, the degree is submitted to the Ministry of External Affairs, which applies a stamp (for embassy attestation) or an Apostille sticker (for Hague Convention countries).
Embassy Attestation
For non-Hague countries, the degree is attested by the respective embassy or consulate in India — UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman, or Bahrain.
