B.Com Certificate Apostille and Attestation
Apostille and embassy attestation for B.Com (B Com) degree certificates and marksheets, for accounting, finance and banking careers abroad and for postgraduate study.
B Com certificate apostille: quick answer
B Com certificate apostille means getting your B.Com (B Com) 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.
Going to the UAE, Qatar, Kuwait or another country outside the Hague Convention? Then you need B Com certificate attestation instead: the same notary and SDM steps, MEA attestation, and legalisation by that country's embassy in New Delhi.

Why a B.Com degree is apostilled or attested
Commerce graduates from India fill a large share of accounting, audit, banking and back-office jobs in the Gulf, and many go on to master's programmes or professional qualifications in Canada, the UK and Australia.
Gulf work visas for accountant and finance roles generally need the B.Com degree attested by the MEA and the embassy. Canada, the UK and Australia are Hague countries, so an MEA apostille is the stamp they accept when legalisation is requested.
Accountant visas
Gulf job titles such as accountant usually need an attested degree.
Postgraduate study
MBA, finance and accounting master's abroad.
Professional bodies
ACCA, CPA and CMA routes may ask for verified degrees.
Banking and audit
Employers that verify academic records.

Tips before sending your B.Com (B Com) degree
- For a Gulf visa, the job title on the visa should match the degree; an accountant title with a B.Com degree is straightforward.
- Canada joined the Apostille Convention in 2024, so Canadian authorities now accept the MEA apostille instead of embassy legalisation.
- If you also hold an M.Com or MBA, legalising both together saves a second courier.

FAQs: B Com certificate apostille and attestation
How do I get my B.Com (B Com) degree 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 B.Com (B Com) degree to our office and we handle each stage and return it by courier.
What are the charges for B Com certificate apostille?
The MEA charges a government fee of ₹50 per document for an apostille. Our service charge for B Com 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 a B.Com degree need attestation for an accountant job in the UAE?
Yes. For UAE work visas in professional roles, the degree is attested by the MEA and the UAE embassy, and then by the UAE ministry in the UAE.
What documents are required for B Com certificate attestation?
The original B.Com (B Com) degree, a clear copy of your passport (photo and address pages), and a signed authorisation letter that we send you. Tell us the destination country and purpose, because the route depends on it.
What is the process for B Com certificate attestation for the UAE, Qatar or Kuwait?
For these non-Hague countries the B.Com (B Com) degree is notarised and verified by the SDM in New Delhi, attested by the MEA, and then legalised by the embassy of the destination country. For the UAE, the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs adds a final stamp inside the UAE.
Is the apostille accepted in Canada for a B.Com degree?
Yes. Canada is a party to the Apostille Convention, so an MEA apostille is accepted where legalisation is required.
How long does B Com 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 B.Com (B Com) 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.
Can B.Com marksheets be done along with the degree?
Yes. Each marksheet gets its own apostille or attestation, and one courier covers all of them.
