Apostille Services in Patna: Apostille and Attestation
Looking for apostille services in Patna? Bihar’s students and workers need their certificates legalised for medical studies abroad and for Gulf jobs, and the MEA and the embassies are in Delhi. Courier the original from Patna and we take it through the notary, SDM, MEA apostille or attestation and the embassy stamp. When a checklist asks for it, we also arrange Bihar HRD attestation.
Apostille services in Patna: quick answer
A Patna document is couriered to our Delhi office, notarised, attested by the SDM and given the MEA apostille, normally within 2–3 working days of arrival. Courier between Patna and Delhi usually takes about 2 days each way.
Gulf-bound files need attestation services in Patna: MEA attestation, then the UAE, Qatar or Kuwait embassy in New Delhi. Each embassy charges its own fee, which we confirm before the file starts.
Why Bihar files are finished in Delhi
Bihar has no MEA apostille counter and no foreign embassy. Every stage after the issuing office, from the SDM attestation we use to the MEA and the embassies, happens in Delhi, so one tracked courier from Patna replaces several trips.
Our Patna files are mostly BSEB 10th and 12th marksheets for students going abroad for MBBS, degrees from Patna University, AKU and Magadh University for jobs and higher studies, and trade certificates for workers heading to Saudi Arabia and the UAE.

Bihar HRD attestation
Bihar is one of the 16 States where we arrange State HRD attestation. It is one of the slower ones, usually 50–60 working days, and needs the matric certificate, an address proof other than the passport and two photos as well as the usual documents. Use it only when the checklist names HRD. See the States, universities and documents on our HRD attestation page. MEA attestation in Patna files then follows in Delhi as usual.
