HRD ATTESTATION SERVICES IN INDIA

State-Level Verification for Educational Certificates

What is HRD Attestation ?

HRD Attestation is a state-level verification of educational documents issued in India. The Human Resource Department or State Education Department authenticates degree and diploma certificates before they are submitted for Apostille or Embassy attestation for overseas use.

Who Needs HRD Attestation?

HRD Attestation is required for individuals who plan to use their Indian educational certificates abroad for official purposes. In most cases, foreign authorities ask for HRD verification before accepting academic documents.

Typically, HRD Attestation is required by:

Students applying for higher education overseas
Professionals seeking employment in foreign countries
Candidates applying for work or employment visas
Degree holders migrating to Gulf or European nations

This verification confirms that the educational certificate is genuine and issued by a recognized institution.

HRD Attestation vs GAD Attestation

HRD Attestation and GAD Attestation serve different purposes and apply to different document types. Understanding the difference helps avoid delays and incorrect submissions.

HRD Attestation

Applies to educational documents
Includes degree certificates, diplomas, and mark sheets
Issued by the State Education Department or HRD

GAD Attestation

Applies to personal documents
Includes birth, marriage, and death certificates
Issued by the General Administration or Home Department

Choosing the correct attestation depends on the type of document, not the destination country.

HRD Attestation Process

The HRD Attestation process involves multiple verification stages to ensure document authenticity. The exact steps may vary slightly by state, but the standard flow remains the same.

Verification from the issuing university or board
Authentication by the State Home Department
Authentication by the State HRD or Education Department

Each stage is mandatory before the document can be accepted for overseas use.

After HRD attestation, documents may proceed to the Apostille attestation process or Embassy attestation services depending on the destination country.

Documents Required for HRD Attestation

To complete the HRD Attestation process, the following documents are generally required:

Original educational certificate (degree or diploma)
Consolidated or semester-wise mark sheets
Passport copy of the applicant
Passport Size Photo
SSC/HSC Marklist Copy
Authorization letter, if applying through an agent

Additional documents may be requested depending on the issuing state or university.
