MCA Degree Certificate Apostille and Attestation
Apostille and embassy attestation for MCA degrees and marksheets, for senior IT, software and teaching posts abroad.
MCA degree certificate apostille: quick answer
In short, MCA degree certificate apostille is the MEA's apostille on your MCA degree. 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 MCA degree certificate attestation: MEA attestation after the notary and SDM steps, followed by embassy legalisation.
We arrange MCA certificate apostille from start to finish by courier, for clients in every State. Share a photo of the MCA degree on WhatsApp with the country name, and we confirm the route and price in writing.
Why an MCA degree is apostilled or attested
MCA holders work as software engineers, architects and IT managers abroad, and some teach computer science at colleges. For senior visas and professional job titles, employers usually ask for the MCA together with the bachelor's degree that came before it.
Hague countries accept the MEA apostille. The UAE, Qatar and Kuwait need MEA attestation followed by the embassy stamp.

FAQs: MCA degree certificate apostille and attestation
How do I get my MCA degree apostilled by the Ministry of External Affairs?
Send us the original MCA degree. We get it notarised in New Delhi, have the notary verified by the SDM office and submit it to the MEA, which fixes the apostille. The stamped MCA degree comes back to you by tracked courier.
What are the charges for MCA 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 MCA degree 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.
Do I need my BCA attested along with my MCA?
Often yes, especially for Gulf visas and teaching posts, which look at the full academic chain.
What documents are required for MCA degree certificate attestation?
For MCA degree certificate attestation we need the original MCA degree, your passport copy (front and back pages) and a signed authorisation letter. Please also say where and why you will use it.
What is the process for MCA degree certificate attestation for the UAE, Qatar or Kuwait?
The UAE, Qatar and Kuwait do not accept the apostille, so the MCA degree is attested in four stages: a New Delhi notary, the SDM, the MEA and finally the embassy of the country concerned. In the UAE, the foreign ministry adds one more stamp locally.
What does an MCA degree need for Saudi Arabia?
Saudi Arabia is a Hague member, so the MEA apostille is used.
How long does MCA 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 MCA degree need?

Yes. Each marksheet gets its own stamp, all in one courier.
