How does degree certificate apostille in Arunachal Pradesh work?
Degree certificate apostille in Arunachal Pradesh means having a degree issued by a university or college in the state certified by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA). Once certified, it is recognised in countries that have signed the Hague Apostille Convention. The MEA fixes a numbered apostille sticker carrying a QR code on the reverse of the certificate.
The MEA only acts on a document that has already been pre-authenticated. For Arunachal degrees there are two ways to do that: through the designated authorities of the Government of Arunachal Pradesh (the State HRD route), or through a Notary Public and a Sub-Divisional Magistrate in Delhi (the SDM route). Countries outside the convention, such as the UAE, Qatar and Kuwait, need MEA attestation plus embassy legalisation instead of an apostille.

Guidance for State HRD authentication of Arunachal Pradesh degrees
Choose this step only if your destination, employer or council has asked for it. The MEA publishes a list of State authorities whose authentication it accepts. For Arunachal Pradesh, that list names the following offices:
- Confirm with your university that it has your degree on record and can respond to a verification request.
- Contact the Department of Higher & Technical Education, Itanagar, or the Resident Commissioner's office in New Delhi, to confirm the current application procedure.
- Prepare your original degree, mark sheets, passport copy and proof of purpose, such as an admission letter or job offer.
- Submit the application and collect the authenticated original.
- Hand the authenticated degree to INFINITYGRO at our office or by courier for the MEA and embassy stages.
Designated officers and procedures are updated from time to time. Always confirm the current process with the office before submitting documents.

Degree certificate apostille in Arunachal Pradesh, town by town
Whether you are in the capital region or a high-altitude district, degree certificate apostille in Arunachal Pradesh works the same way: visit our office or courier your documents, and we return them once the MEA or embassy work is complete.
Below are notes for applicants from the state's main towns.
Degree Certificate Apostille Services in Itanagar
Itanagar applicants often hold degrees from Rajiv Gandhi University at Doimukh, Dera Natung Government College or Himalayan University. Many are heading for postgraduate study abroad, where the SDM route is usually the quickest path.
Being in the capital also puts you close to the Department of Higher & Technical Education, which helps if your employer demands the State HRD route.
MEA Apostille and Attestation in Naharlagun
Naharlagun, Itanagar's twin town, is home to Tomo Riba Institute of Health and Medical Sciences, so many applicants here are doctors and nurses. Medical councils abroad frequently publish their own document rules, so check them before choosing a route.
Engineering graduates of nearby NERIST at Nirjuli can use either route, depending on their destination.
Certificate Apostille Agency for Pasighat
Graduates of Arunachal Pradesh University and Jawaharlal Nehru College in Pasighat can courier their degrees to us rather than travelling out of East Siang. Tracked courier keeps you informed at every step of the journey.
If the State HRD route is required, complete it first and then send the authenticated degree for the MEA stage.
Degree Apostille for Applicants in Tawang
Travel from Tawang can be slow, particularly in winter when mountain passes are affected by snow. Courier is the practical choice here, and the SDM route lets you finish the whole process without leaving the district.
Allow extra transit time in both directions and share your deadline with us early.
Degree Certificate Apostille in Ziro
Applicants from Indira Gandhi Technological and Medical Sciences University and Saint Claret College in Ziro use our courier facility to reach the MEA without a trip to Delhi.
For study-abroad and visa files, the SDM route typically fits well. Gulf job offers may call for State authentication first.
Apostille and Attestation Services in Namsai
Degrees from Arunachal University of Studies and other institutions in Namsai follow the same two routes. Courier from Namsai is straightforward, and we return your apostilled originals to your home address.

FAQs about degree certificate apostille in Arunachal Pradesh
What are the two processes for degree certificate apostille in Arunachal Pradesh?
In the State HRD route, a designated Government of Arunachal Pradesh authority authenticates the degree, after which the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) issues the apostille. In the SDM route, a Notary Public authorises the degree, an SDM in Delhi attests it and the MEA then apostilles it. For countries outside the Hague Convention, either route ends with MEA attestation and embassy legalisation.
Which Arunachal Pradesh authority authenticates degree certificates for the MEA?
The MEA's published list of State authentication authorities names the Director, Department of Higher & Technical Education, Government of Arunachal Pradesh, Itanagar, for educational documents. The same list also includes the Deputy Secretary (Home), Itanagar, and the Office of the Resident Commissioner of Arunachal Pradesh in New Delhi. Confirm the current procedure with the office before applying.
Does INFINITYGRO carry out State HRD authentication or university verification?
No. Our services cover Notary and SDM attestation, MEA apostille, MEA attestation and embassy legalisation. If your destination insists on State HRD authentication, you arrange it with the Arunachal Pradesh authority yourself, and we then handle the MEA and embassy stages.
Can I visit your office to submit my documents, or must I use courier?
You can do either. Visit our office to hand over your originals and receive a written acknowledgement, or send them by trackable courier from anywhere in Arunachal Pradesh. In both cases, we return the completed documents to your chosen address by tracked courier.
How should I courier my degree from Itanagar, Naharlagun or Pasighat?
Message us on WhatsApp for the delivery address and checklist first. Place your originals flat in a waterproof envelope without laminating them, add your passport copy and signed authorisation letter, and use a tracked courier or Speed Post. Share the tracking number with us so we can confirm when the package arrives.
I live in Tawang, Ziro or Namsai. Can I still complete degree certificate apostille in Arunachal Pradesh without travelling?
Yes. Through the SDM route, the entire process can be completed by courier, with no need to visit Itanagar or Delhi. Transit to and from high-altitude and remote districts can take longer, especially in winter, so tell us your deadline early.
Is the SDM route faster, and is it accepted everywhere?
The SDM route is usually quicker because fewer offices are involved and it does not wait on State or university processing. It is widely used for admissions and many visa types. Some Gulf employers, embassies and professional councils still require State HRD authentication, so check the receiving authority's instructions first.
Do Gulf countries accept an apostille on an Indian degree?
Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and Oman are Hague Apostille Convention members, so an MEA apostille is generally accepted; Saudi Arabia's membership took effect on 7 December 2022. The UAE, Qatar and Kuwait are not members, so a degree going there needs MEA attestation followed by embassy legalisation. Your sponsor may add further requirements.
How much does degree certificate apostille in Arunachal Pradesh cost?
The cost depends on the route, the destination country, whether embassy legalisation is needed, the number of documents and whether you use office drop-off or courier. See our detailed degree certificate apostille and attestation fees page, or WhatsApp +91-8595558517 for an itemised quote.
I studied at Rajiv Gandhi University or NERIST but now live outside the state. Can I apply?
Yes. Visit our office or courier your documents from wherever you live, and we return them to your current address. If you need the State HRD route, authentication remains with Arunachal Pradesh because your degree was issued there. The Resident Commissioner's office in New Delhi is also on the MEA's list of authorities for the state.
