An MEA apostille makes your Indian degree certificate valid in Hague Convention countries.
VerifiedApostille selects the correct path based on your State/university and the recipient’s checklist.
Sticker vs e-Apostille (QR) & e-Sanad
- Sticker Apostille (physical): MEA sticker on the original degree — common for immigration/visa.
- e-Apostille (QR): MEA digital apostille with QR verification — fast when copies are accepted.
- e-Sanad: official digital pipeline for participating universities/boards; used where available.
For non-Hague destinations, we manage Notary → HRD/SDM → MEA → Embassy/Consulate.
See Apostille vs Attestation and Hague countries .

- Digital share — scan/e-Apostille PDF + verification link.
- Secure return — tracked, insured delivery of originals.

Original vs Copy
- If the recipient requires physical verification, choose Sticker on the original degree.
- If e-Apostille is accepted, a notarized copy avoids sending the original.
- Always follow the recipient’s written requirement.
Special Cases
- Provisional degree: use only if accepted or final is pending.
- Old/faded degree: request a fresh university reprint before apostille.
- Name change/mismatch: we’ll suggest affidavit, Gazette, or university correction (fastest compliant path).
- Applying from abroad: parents/guardians can submit with ID and authorization.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do degree certificates require HRD or is SDM enough?
Many recipients prefer HRD/Education Department for degrees; some accept SDM. We follow the destination’s written checklist and your State rules, then confirm the shortest compliant route.
Do I need to send the original degree certificate?
Not always. Sticker apostille often requires the original. If your recipient accepts, e-Apostille (QR) on a notarized copy keeps your original safe.
Is e-Sanad available for my university?
If your university/board supports e-Sanad, we’ll prefer that digital route. Some institutions add genuineness/verification fees; timelines vary.
Provisional vs final degree—what should I apostille?
Most destinations prefer the final degree. Use provisional only when explicitly accepted or if the final is pending.
How long will a degree apostille take?
SDM: ~2–3 working days once in process. HRD/e-Sanad depends on State/university verification and can take longer; we share a firm ETA after review.
What does it cost?
Our SDM bundle for many degree cases is ₹2,000 per document (Notary + SDM (Delhi) + MEA + secure return). If HRD/e-Sanad is required, we quote it separately after verifying your route. Prices current as of 2025-09-28.
Can you deliver abroad?
Yes — we ship worldwide via DHL, Blue Dart, or other standard couriers with tracking and insurance.
