MBA Degree Certificate Apostille and Attestation
MEA apostille and embassy attestation for MBA degrees and PGDM diplomas, for management jobs, business visas and further study abroad.
MBA degree certificate apostille: quick answer
MBA degree certificate apostille means getting your MBA degree certified by the Ministry of External Affairs with an apostille sticker, so that Hague Convention countries accept it without any embassy stamp. The steps are Notary, SDM New Delhi and the MEA apostille; the MEA's own fee is ₹50 per document.
Countries such as the UAE, Qatar and Kuwait are not in the Hague Convention, so for them you need MBA degree certificate attestation: MEA attestation after the notary and SDM steps, followed by embassy legalisation.
We arrange MBA certificate apostille from start to finish by courier, for clients in every State. Share a photo of the MBA degree on WhatsApp with the country name, and we confirm the route and price in writing.
Why an MBA degree is apostilled or attested
Managers relocating to the Gulf often find that a manager or director job title on the visa needs a degree attested for that level, and the MBA is the document that supports it. Business schools abroad also ask for the MBA when you apply for a doctorate or executive programme.
For the UAE, Qatar and Kuwait, the MBA needs MEA attestation and embassy legalisation. Saudi Arabia, Oman and Bahrain, along with Europe and Australia, accept the MEA apostille.
Manager visas
Senior job titles on Gulf work visas.
PGDM diplomas
AICTE-approved PGDM from business schools.
Further study
Doctoral and executive programmes.
Investors
Business owners who need degrees legalised.

What are the charges for MBA degree certificate apostille?
For MBA degree certificate apostille you pay the MEA fee of ₹50 per document plus our service charge of about ₹1,000–₹1,500 per document; courier is extra. Embassy legalisation for non-Hague countries is priced per embassy, and the quote is always given in writing before you send anything.
