Procedure for Degree Certificate Apostille

Obtaining an apostille seal on a certificate is a complex and time-consuming process. Previously, this process was centralized under the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA). However, as of January 1, 2019, document authentication has been allocated to branch secretariats and Regional Passport Offices (RPOs). While this decentralization has made it more available to the general public, it has also slightly extended the timeline. The current authentication process follows a structured sequence of steps to ensure the accuracy of your documents.

1. Regional Level Attestation
   The procedure begins with the regional validation of documents. This step includes authentication by a notary, or the university (in the case of educational documents), or the Chamber of Commerce (for commercial documents). The process of validation depends on the document category.
2. State Government Attestation
   After the regional authentication, the document is sent to the applicable state officials for further authentication. This is typically handled by Home department, HRD OR SDM based on document type. State Home Department (SHD): Responsible for personal documents such as birth or marriage certificates. Human Resource Department (HRD): Handles academic certificates. Sub-Divisional Magistrate (SDM): Can act independently of state authorities, but their authentication remains valid at the state level.
3. Apostille
   The final stage in the Apostille process is securing the Apostille sticker from the MEA. This sticker has the applicant's name and essential details, certifying the document for international use. For commercial documents, the MEA might also need an extra stamp along with the Apostille. This step is crucial as it is managed by the central government and guarantees that the documents are acknowledged under the Hague Convention of 1961.

Depending on the origin or type of the document, the procedure for the attestation of educational certificates will vary. Following are given the different procedures that are specific to the place of issuance of the document and its kind.

1. For Maharashtra issued documents

2. For out of Maharashtra issued documents

3. As per the country's requirement where HRD is compulsory
