AMIE Certificate Apostille and Attestation
Apostille and embassy attestation for AMIE certificates from The Institution of Engineers (India), for engineers working or seeking registration abroad.
AMIE degree certificate apostille: quick answer
AMIE degree certificate apostille is the stamp the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) puts on your Indian AMIE certificate so that it is accepted in Hague Convention countries. On our route the AMIE certificate is notarised in New Delhi, verified by the SDM office and then apostilled by the MEA, which charges a government fee of ₹50 per document.
Going to the UAE, Qatar, Kuwait or another country outside the Hague Convention? Then you need AMIE certificate attestation instead: the same notary and SDM steps, MEA attestation, and legalisation by that country's embassy in New Delhi.
INFINITYGRO handles AMIE certificate apostille for clients across India by courier. Send a WhatsApp photo of your AMIE certificate and the destination country, and you get the route and a written quote before anything is sent.
Why AMIE certificates are apostilled or attested
AMIE is a route to an engineering qualification through The Institution of Engineers (India), mainly taken by working professionals and diploma holders. Engineers with AMIE often apply for jobs and registration abroad, where the certificate must be legalised before it can be used.
Acceptance of AMIE varies abroad: some employers and engineering bodies treat it like a degree, others ask more questions. Legalisation itself follows the normal route: MEA apostille for Hague countries and MEA attestation plus embassy legalisation for the Gulf.

Tips before sending your AMIE certificate

- Keep your diploma ready; some authorities ask how you entered AMIE.
- IEI may issue an equivalence letter; carry it with your file if you have one.

FAQs: AMIE degree certificate apostille and attestation
How do I get my AMIE certificate apostilled by the Ministry of External Affairs?
The AMIE certificate goes to a New Delhi notary, then to the SDM office for verification, and then to the MEA for the apostille. INFINITYGRO manages the whole file by courier, so you only post the original and receive it back stamped.
What are the charges for AMIE degree certificate apostille?
Two parts make up the cost: the MEA's ₹50 government fee per document and our service charge, which for an apostille on a AMIE certificate is usually ₹1,000–₹1,500 per document. Courier both ways is separate. If you need embassy attestation instead, we quote that country's charges in writing.
Is AMIE accepted as an engineering degree abroad?
It depends on the country and the employer. Some accept it as equivalent to a bachelor's in engineering; others do not. Legalisation does not change that decision.
What documents are required for AMIE certificate attestation?
Send the original AMIE certificate with a copy of your passport's photo and address pages and the signed authorisation letter we provide. The country of use and the purpose decide whether we apostille or attest it.
What is the process for AMIE certificate attestation for the UAE, Qatar or Kuwait?
Notary, SDM, MEA attestation and then the embassy: that is the four-step route for the UAE, Qatar and Kuwait. The UAE also requires its own ministry stamp after you arrive.
Can an AMIE certificate be apostilled?
Yes. AMIE certificates issued by The Institution of Engineers (India) can be apostilled or attested by the MEA.
How long does AMIE degree certificate apostille take?
An apostille is quicker than embassy attestation, because there is no embassy queue. The exact time depends on the SDM and MEA workload; your written quote gives an expected date, and WhatsApp updates follow each stage.
Apostille or attestation: which one does my AMIE certificate need?
It depends on the country where you will use the AMIE certificate. Hague Convention countries, such as Saudi Arabia, Oman, Germany, Italy, the UK and Australia, accept the MEA apostille. Non-Hague countries, such as the UAE, Qatar, Kuwait and China, need MEA attestation followed by embassy legalisation.
Do I need my diploma attested with my AMIE?
Sometimes. If the employer asks for your full engineering path, legalise both together.
