Experience Certificate Apostille for Oman: Replaces the Embassy Stamp
An Omani employer has asked for your Indian experience letter to be attested. Many still call this Oman Embassy attestation, but since Oman applies the Apostille Convention to personal documents, the MEA apostille now does the job on its own. We take your letter through a notary, the SDM and the MEA in Delhi and return it by courier.
Experience certificate apostille for Oman: the short version
Experience certificate apostille for Oman is how an Indian experience or relieving letter is authenticated today for a job in Oman. Older guides describe a chain ending at the Oman Embassy in New Delhi. Between two Apostille Convention countries that embassy step is replaced by one apostille from the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA). Oman’s 2021 declaration took only commercial and customs papers out of the Convention, so a personal experience letter still takes the apostille.
Because the letter is issued by a private company, the MEA needs it authenticated first. INFINITYGRO arranges a notary and the SDM in Delhi, then the MEA apostille. The total is Rs 1,000–1,500 per letter, all-inclusive; courier is extra. It usually takes 2–3 working days once the letter reaches us.
From Oman Embassy attestation to the MEA apostille
Older route
Notary, state or SDM authentication, MEA attestation and then the Oman Embassy stamp in New Delhi, with a separate embassy fee and more days.
Route now
Notary, SDM authentication and the MEA apostille. The apostille is the final Indian step for a personal letter going to Oman.
If your employer’s checklist still says “attested by the Oman Embassy”, it is usually an old template. Ask the HR team whether an apostille is acceptable; for civil documents it should be, under Oman’s own position at the Hague Conference.
What an Omani employer looks for in the letter
The apostille confirms the signatures and stamps in the chain. It does not improve a weak letter, so check the content before you send it.
- Company letterhead with full address and contact details
- Your full name exactly as in your passport
- Job title, joining date and last working day
- A short description of duties, if the employer asked for it
- Signature, name and designation of HR or a director, with the company seal

Other papers for an Oman job file
Employers in Oman often ask for several papers at the same time. Sending them together saves a second courier and keeps the file consistent.
If your Omani employer also needs your company’s trade papers, those follow a different route through the chamber, MEA attestation and the Oman Embassy. See commercial documents attestation from Oman Embassy.

FAQs: Experience Certificate Apostille for Oman: Replaces the Embassy Stamp
Do I need Oman Embassy attestation on my experience letter?
Not for a personal experience letter. Oman applies the Apostille Convention to civil documents, so the MEA apostille is the final step in India. Oman’s 2021 declaration excluded only commercial and customs documents, not personal papers like this.
My employer’s checklist says embassy attestation. What should I do?
Ask the HR team whether an MEA apostille is acceptable, and get the answer in writing if you can. Many checklists are older templates. If they still insist on an embassy stamp, send us their message and we will advise before you spend anything.
What does experience certificate apostille for Oman cost?
Rs 1,000 to Rs 1,500 per letter in total. That covers the notary, the SDM, the Rs 50 MEA fee and our service. Courier is extra, and an Arabic translation, if needed, is quoted by page.
Can a relieving letter be apostilled instead?
Yes, if it is on letterhead, signed and sealed, and shows your dates and designation. Some employers in Oman want both the relieving letter and an experience letter. Check the checklist and send whichever it names.
My old company has closed. Can I still apostille its letter?
It may still go through if it is a signed original on letterhead with a seal. The notary and SDM decide whether to accept it. Send a photo first so we can tell you how likely it is.
How long does the apostille take?
Usually 2 to 3 working days in Delhi after the letter reaches us. Courier time from your city and back is extra. If you need the letter by a fixed joining date, mention it when you first contact us.
Can I send the letter from outside Delhi?
Yes. Courier the original from any city in India. We handle the notary, SDM and MEA in Delhi and return the letter by Blue Dart or another secure courier. Delhi clients can drop it off at our office.
Does the letter need an Arabic translation for Oman?
Some offices in Oman ask for one, while others accept English. Ask your employer what it needs. If a translation made in India is acceptable, INFINITYGRO translates into Arabic, priced by page, and returns it with the apostilled letter.
