Diploma Certificate Apostille

Yes, an eligible diploma can generally be processed if its issuer and record can be verified through the applicable authority. The exact pre-authentication route depends on the board, institute, state or Union Territory that issued it.

No. Submit them only when the verifying authority or overseas recipient asks for them. A university, employer, licensing body or credential evaluator may request supporting academic records separately from the apostilled diploma.

Yes, when the relevant issuing authority is integrated with e-Sanad and the diploma record is available in the required digital repository. If digital verification is unavailable, the applicable physical pre-authentication route continues to apply.

Indian apostilles can be checked through the e-Register facility on the e-Sanad platform using the required apostille or attestation number and document ID. Keep those details with your scanned copy after completion.

MEA's published service timeline is usually within seven working days after a properly verified document reaches the Ministry. The complete timeline can be longer because university, board, state or digital verification happens before MEA processing.

The ₹50 amount covers the MEA apostille itself. Pre-authentication, verification support, scanning, collection, professional service and courier charges can be additional. Ask for a written breakup so government and service costs are clearly separated.

Keep the certificate flat in a protective sleeve inside a rigid envelope. Avoid laminating, folding, stapling or marking it unless an authority specifically instructs you to do so, and retain a clear scan before dispatch.

Before closing a Diploma Certificate Apostille request, compare the returned diploma with your scan, confirm the apostille details and document identity, and verify the return address and courier tracking. Report any mismatch before using the certificate overseas.
