CBSE Certificate Apostille and Attestation
Apostille or embassy attestation for CBSE Class 10 and Class 12 passing certificates and marksheets, including duplicates issued by CBSE regional offices.
CBSE degree certificate apostille: quick answer
In short, CBSE degree certificate apostille is the MEA's apostille on your CBSE certificate. It is recognised in every Hague Convention country. We complete it in three steps in New Delhi: notary, SDM verification and the MEA apostille, for which the government fee is ₹50 per document.
Countries such as the UAE, Qatar and Kuwait are not in the Hague Convention, so for them you need CBSE certificate attestation: MEA attestation after the notary and SDM steps, followed by embassy legalisation.
We arrange CBSE certificate apostille from start to finish by courier, for clients in every State. Share a photo of the CBSE certificate on WhatsApp with the country name, and we confirm the route and price in writing.
CBSE certificates: what people mean by 'CBSE degree certificate apostille'
Many people search for a CBSE degree certificate apostille, but CBSE is a school board: it issues Class 10 and Class 12 passing certificates and marksheets, not degrees. These are the documents we apostille or attest for you.
CBSE students who move abroad for university, or families relocating to the Gulf with school-age children, often need these certificates legalised. CBSE schools abroad also enrol students whose Indian records must be accepted by the host country.
CBSE Class 10
Secondary School Examination certificate and marksheet.
CBSE Class 12
Senior School Certificate Examination certificate and marksheet.
Duplicate certificates
Issued by CBSE regional offices when the original is lost.

FAQs: CBSE degree certificate apostille and attestation
How do I get my CBSE certificate apostilled by the Ministry of External Affairs?
There are three steps: notary attestation in New Delhi, SDM verification of the notary, and the MEA apostille. You do not need to visit Delhi; courier the CBSE certificate to our office and we handle each stage and return it by courier.
What are the charges for CBSE degree certificate apostille?
The MEA charges a government fee of ₹50 per document for an apostille. Our service charge for CBSE degree certificate apostille is usually ₹1,000–₹1,500 per document, and courier is extra. Embassy attestation for the UAE, Qatar, Kuwait and other countries costs more and is quoted per country. You always get a written quote first.
Does CBSE issue a degree certificate?
No. CBSE issues Class 10 and Class 12 certificates and marksheets. A degree certificate comes from a university. Both can be apostilled by the MEA.
What documents are required for CBSE certificate attestation?
Only a few things: the original CBSE certificate, a passport copy showing the photo and address pages, and our authorisation letter signed by you. Let us know the country and the purpose so we choose the right route.
What is the process for CBSE 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 a duplicate CBSE certificate be apostilled?
Yes. A duplicate issued and signed by the CBSE regional office follows the same route as the original.
How long does CBSE 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 CBSE certificate need?
The country decides. Apostille works for Hague members such as Saudi Arabia, Oman, the UK, France and Australia; attestation with embassy legalisation is needed for the UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, China and other non-members.
I studied at a CBSE school in the Gulf. Can my certificate be apostilled in India?
Yes. CBSE is an Indian board, so its certificates are legalised by the MEA in New Delhi even if the school was abroad.
