Degree authentication for overseas use

Degree Certificate Attestation Assistance

If an overseas employer, university or licensing body has asked for an attested degree, send us the degree and their requirement. We will check the university and the authentication route before you submit the original.

Degree authentication

A degree should be checked against both the university and the destination

Degree attestation is commonly needed for overseas employment, higher education, professional licensing or family documentation. The route can involve university verification or State education authentication before the document reaches the later national or destination stage.

We review the actual degree and any instruction from the receiving organisation. This is especially useful when an employer simply says “attested degree” without explaining which Indian stages it expects.

Worth checking first: Do not alter, laminate further or remove existing seals from a degree before review. The physical condition of the document can matter during verification.

How we handle the enquiry

A degree attestation case in four practical steps

We make sure the degree enters the right verification chain.

  1. 1

    Check verification route

    We identify the applicable university or State education authentication step.

  3. 3
    Complete pre-authentication

    The degree moves through the required academic authentication stage.

  4. 4

    MEA/Apostille or other destination-specific authentication is coordinated as applicable.

Documents & information

  • Passport/identity copy
  • Employer, university or receiving-authority requirement
Questions we are often asked

Degree attestation questions

Can an old degree be attested?

Age alone does not decide eligibility. The university, document condition, verification route and receiving requirement all need to be checked.

Do I need to attest all my degrees?

Usually you should start with the qualification requested by the employer, university or authority rather than processing every academic certificate unnecessarily.

Can you guarantee university verification time?

No. University and official verification timelines can vary. We provide an estimate after checking the institution and current route.
