HRD Attestation (Human Resource Development Attestation) is the official verification and authentication process of educational documents by the respective State Education Department in India. This critical process confirms that your degree, diploma, or certificate was issued by a recognized and legitimate educational institution within that state.
Embassy Attestation is the final step of document legalization where the embassy of your destination country verifies and stamps your documents, making them legally valid for use in that specific country. As of 2026, this attestation remains mandatory for anyone seeking to use Indian educational qualifications abroad—whether for higher education, employment, immigration, or professional licensing.
Mandatory for admission to foreign universities, colleges, and academic programs worldwide
Essential for job opportunities and work permits in UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman, Bahrain, and 50+ countries
Required for doctors, engineers, nurses, teachers, accountants, and other regulated professions
Necessary for permanent residency, family visa sponsorship, and immigration processes
Required for establishing companies, partnerships, and commercial ventures internationally
Needed for credential evaluation, skill assessment, and professional registration abroad
Understanding the attestation process is crucial for timely completion. Here's the comprehensive workflow:
Your documents are first verified by a government-approved notary public. This step adds an initial layer of authentication and is required in some states before proceeding to higher authorities.
Duration: 1-2 working days
The State Human Resource Development (HRD) Department verifies your educational documents against university records. This is the most critical step as it confirms your degree's authenticity at the state government level.
Documents Required:
Duration: 7-21 working days (varies by state)
After HRD attestation, documents are submitted to the MEA in New Delhi for central government authentication. The MEA provides the official government stamp for international recognition.
Important: MEA now offers both standard attestation (for non-Hague countries) and Apostille (QR-coded sticker for Hague Convention member countries like USA, UK, Australia, etc.)
Duration: 3-7 working days
The final step involves submission to the respective country's embassy or consulate in India. Each embassy has specific requirements and processing procedures.
Popular Embassies: UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman, Bahrain, Malaysia, China, Egypt, etc.
Duration: 3-10 working days (embassy-dependent)
Some countries like UAE, Qatar, and Kuwait require additional attestation from their Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) after you arrive in the destination country. This is the absolute final step of document legalization.
Duration: 2-5 working days (in destination country)

"I needed my engineering degree attested for a job in Dubai with a very tight deadline.

The team's knowledge about Saudi-specific requirements saved me from multiple rejections. Worth every rupee!"
"I was stuck with a complicated case - my degree was from a distance learning university and several service providers refused to help.

Q1: What is the difference between HRD attestation and Apostille?
HRD attestation is required for non-Hague convention countries (like UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar) and involves state HRD, MEA, and Embassy attestation. Apostille is a single-step MEA sticker attestation valid for Hague convention member countries (like USA, UK, Australia, Germany). Apostille has replaced the traditional attestation chain for these 100+ countries, making the process faster and simpler.
Q2: How long does the complete attestation process take?
Standard processing takes 15-35 working days depending on the state and destination country. With our express services, we can complete the entire process in 7-15 working days. States like Kerala and Delhi are faster (10-15 days), while Maharashtra and Karnataka may take 15-25 days. Emergency situations can be handled with premium express services.
Q3: Can I get my documents attested if I'm currently abroad?
Absolutely! We regularly serve clients who are already overseas. You can courier your original documents to our office, and we'll handle the complete attestation process. We'll keep you updated via WhatsApp/email and courier the attested documents to your Indian address or directly to your international location (additional courier charges apply). Many of our clients use our services while working abroad.
Q4: Do I need to attest all my mark sheets or just the final degree?
Requirements vary by country and purpose. For most employment purposes, the final degree certificate and consolidated mark sheet are sufficient. However, for university admissions or professional licensing, you may need all semester/year mark sheets attested. Our experts will review your specific case and advise on exactly which documents need attestation to avoid unnecessary expenses.
Q5: What if my university doesn't exist anymore or has merged with another institution?
This is a common situation, and we have specialized experience handling such cases. We work with university archives, state education boards, and use legal affidavits where necessary. The process takes slightly longer and may require additional documentation, but we have successfully completed attestations for certificates from defunct universities numerous times. Each case is unique and requires expert handling.
Q6: Is HRD attestation mandatory even if I have an Apostille?
No, Apostille and HRD+Embassy attestation are two different processes for different country categories. If your destination country is a Hague Convention member (like USA, UK, Australia), you only need MEA Apostille - no HRD or Embassy attestation required. If your destination is a non-Hague country (like UAE, Saudi, Qatar), you need the traditional HRD → MEA → Embassy attestation chain. We'll guide you based on your specific destination.
Q7: What happens if my documents get rejected during the attestation process?
Rejections can occur due to various reasons - mismatch in names, university verification issues, document quality problems, or missing supporting papers. Our 100% success guarantee means we handle all rejections at our end. We identify the issue, obtain necessary corrections or additional documents, and resubmit without charging you extra service fees. This is included in our commitment to you.
Q8: Do you provide translation services along with attestation?
Yes! We offer professional translation services in 20+ languages including Arabic, French, German, Chinese, Spanish, and more. Translations are done by certified translators, and the translated documents are also notarized and attested as per your requirement. This is particularly important for countries like Saudi Arabia and China where translations are mandatory. We offer package deals combining translation and attestation.
Q9: Can I track my documents during the attestation process?
Definitely! We provide a unique tracking ID for your case. You can log into our online portal 24/7 to see the real-time status of your documents. Additionally, we send automatic SMS, email, and WhatsApp updates whenever your documents move to the next stage (HRD received, MEA submitted, Embassy collected, etc.). You'll always know exactly where your documents are.
Q10: What is MOFA attestation and when is it required?
MOFA (Ministry of Foreign Affairs) attestation is the final step of document legalization done in the destination country AFTER you arrive there. Countries like UAE, Qatar, and Kuwait require this additional step where the destination country's MOFA verifies the embassy attestation. We can guide you through the MOFA process and connect you with our associates in those countries, or you can handle it yourself once you arrive. Some companies also complete MOFA for their new employees.
