ME Degree Certificate Apostille and Attestation
MEA apostille and embassy attestation for ME (Master of Engineering) and M.Tech degrees, for senior engineering, research and teaching posts abroad.
ME degree certificate apostille: quick answer
ME degree certificate apostille is the stamp the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) puts on your Indian ME degree so that it is accepted in Hague Convention countries. On our route the ME degree 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 ME degree certificate attestation instead: the same notary and SDM steps, MEA attestation, and legalisation by that country's embassy in New Delhi.
Looking for M.e degree certificate apostille without travelling to Delhi? Courier the original to our New Delhi office; we complete every stage and courier it back. A WhatsApp photo gets you a written quote first.
Why an ME degree is apostilled or attested
An ME or M.Tech supports senior engineering titles, research positions and teaching posts at engineering colleges abroad. Employers and universities usually check the ME together with your BE or B.Tech.
Saudi Arabia, Oman, Bahrain, Germany and Japan accept the MEA apostille. The UAE, Qatar and Kuwait require MEA attestation followed by embassy legalisation.

FAQs: ME degree certificate apostille and attestation
How do I get my ME degree apostilled by the Ministry of External Affairs?
The ME degree 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 ME degree certificate apostille?
Expect ₹1,000–₹1,500 per document as our service charge for an apostille, in addition to the ₹50 the MEA collects per document. Courier is billed separately. Attestation for the Gulf costs more because each embassy sets its own fee; we confirm it in a written quote.
Is an M.Tech handled the same way as an ME?
Yes. Both are master's degrees in engineering and follow the same Notary, SDM and MEA route.
What documents are required for ME degree certificate attestation?
Send the original ME degree 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 ME degree 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.
Do I need my BE attested with my ME for a teaching post abroad?
Usually yes. Universities look at the bachelor's and master's together.
How long does ME degree certificate apostille take?
The time depends on the queues at the SDM office, the MEA and, for attestation, the embassy. We confirm an expected completion date in your written quote and update you on WhatsApp at every stage. Embassy attestation takes longer than an apostille.
Apostille or attestation: which one does my ME degree 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.
What does an ME degree need for the UAE?
MEA attestation, UAE embassy legalisation and then the UAE ministry stamp in the UAE.
