Educational document authentication
HRD Attestation Assistance
For degrees, diplomas and other educational certificates, the starting authority can depend on the State, institution and type of document. We help you identify the right route before submission.
Educational documents
“HRD attestation” can mean a different process from one State to another
The term HRD attestation is commonly used for State-level authentication of educational documents, but the responsible department and verification process are not identical across India. Some cases involve the university or another designated education authority before the document can proceed further.
We review the certificate and issuing institution first, then explain the likely verification and authentication sequence. That is more reliable than assuming every degree follows the same Delhi-based process.
Worth checking first: If you have transcripts, marksheets or a verification letter from the university, mention that during the first review; it may be relevant to the route.

How we handle the enquiry
How we approach an educational attestation case
We avoid sending an academic document into the wrong State process.
- 1Identify the institution
We note the university, board, course and State where the document was issued.
- 2Check verification requirements
We determine whether institution or education-department verification is normally required.
- 3Complete the State stage
The relevant authentication is coordinated where the document is eligible.
- 4Plan the overseas authentication
Only after the first stage is complete do we move to MEA, Apostille or another required step.

What to keep ready for an educational document review

Questions we are often asked
HRD attestation questions
Is HRD attestation needed for every degree?
No. The requirement depends on the issuing State, institution, destination and the authentication route being followed.
Can a private university degree be processed?
It may be possible if the institution and document are eligible under the applicable verification process. We check the university details first.
Is HRD the last step?
Usually it is an earlier authentication stage where required. MEA, Apostille or destination-specific legalisation may follow.
