What do degree certificate apostille services Aurangabad involve?
Degree certificate apostille services Aurangabad applicants use end with the Ministry of External Affairs applying a numbered sticker to the reverse of the original degree, which makes it valid in every country that has joined the Hague Apostille Convention without any further embassy stamp.
The Ministry certifies only what has already been vouched for. That prior step is either authentication by the Maharashtra authorities, or a Notary Public followed by a Sub-Divisional Magistrate in Delhi. Countries outside the convention, such as the UAE, Qatar and Kuwait, require MEA attestation followed by embassy legalisation instead.
In short, degree certificate apostille services aurangabad is completed entirely in Delhi, whichever of the two routes your file takes.
Which university issued your Aurangabad degree
The seal on the certificate decides which authority authenticates it, not where you live or work today. Marathwada has four universities whose degrees we see regularly.
Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar Marathwada University
BAMU at the Jaisingpura campus is the region's principal university, with affiliated colleges across Aurangabad, Jalna, Beed and Osmanabad districts, now Dharashiv.
Its arts, science, commerce and management degrees make up the largest share of the Marathwada files we handle, mostly bound for the Gulf and the United Kingdom.
Government College of Engineering and MGM University
GECA is among the oldest engineering colleges in Maharashtra, and MGM University, along with Deogiri College and Maulana Azad College, serves a large student population in the city itself.
Engineering graduates from this belt move in numbers to Germany and Japan. See our page on B.Tech degree apostille.
Medical and pharmacy qualifications
Government Medical College Aurangabad, Dr. Hedgewar Hospital's teaching arm and the region's pharmacy institutions supply a steady stream of healthcare files, with degrees awarded through Maharashtra University of Health Sciences at Nashik.
Overseas regulators want transcripts and a good standing certificate alongside the degree. See MBBS apostille and B.Sc Nursing apostille.
Swami Ramanand Teerth Marathwada University, Nanded
Graduates from Nanded, Latur, Parbhani and Hingoli usually hold SRTM University degrees rather than BAMU ones. Both are Maharashtra universities, so the authentication route is identical.
What changes is the registrar your verification request goes to, so keep the university's contact details with the file.
What we handle and what stays with you
Aurangabad applicants frequently assume the whole process can be done locally. It cannot: the Notary, SDM, MEA and embassy stages all happen in Delhi.
INFINITYGRO carries out those Delhi stages. We do not apply for university verification and we do not lodge files with the Maharashtra higher education department.
The two columns below divide degree certificate apostille services aurangabad between our desk and yours, so nothing is assumed.

- SDM attestation in Delhi
- MEA apostille for Hague Convention countries

- Taking over from the MEA stage if your degree is already State-authenticated

Once the State stamp is on the degree, courier it to us and we resume from the MEA stage.
Two routes for degree certificate apostille services aurangabad
Both routes finish at an MEA apostille or an MEA attestation. The difference is who vouches for the degree before the Ministry sees it.
The receiving authority abroad decides which of the two it trusts, so read its wording before committing.
State authentication route for Degree Certificate Apostille Services Aurangabad
For sponsors and councils that require Maharashtra's authentication first.
- Arranged by you
Authentication by the Maharashtra higher education authorities
Maharashtra runs its higher education administration through the Directorate of Higher Education in Pune and a network of regional Joint Director offices, one of which covers the Aurangabad division. That is the usual starting point for Marathwada applicants.

MEA apostille for Hague Convention countries
Courier the authenticated degree to our Delhi office. We submit it to the Ministry of External Affairs through the authorised channel and collect the apostilled original.

Embassy legalisation for non-member countries
For the UAE, Qatar, Kuwait and others outside the convention, we complete MEA attestation and then legalisation at the relevant embassy in New Delhi. Read our guide to degree certificate attestation for the UAE before you start.
Choose this for: Gulf employment, healthcare licensing, and any sponsor naming State authentication in writing.
SDM route for Degree Certificate Apostille Services Aurangabad, handled end to end by us
No trip to Pune or the divisional office, and one accountable team.
- Handled by INFINITYGRO
Notary Public authorisation
We present your degree to a registered Notary Public in Delhi, who records the entry and applies seal and signature.
- Handled by INFINITYGRO
SDM attestation in Delhi
The notarised degree goes to a Sub-Divisional Magistrate's office in Delhi, which confirms the notary's signature and adds the attestation the MEA looks for. Our step-by-step guide to attestation in Delhi NCR explains this stage in detail.
- Handled by INFINITYGRO
MEA apostille or embassy legalisation
Degrees for Hague member states receive the MEA apostille sticker. Degrees for the Gulf and other non-member states receive MEA attestation followed by embassy legalisation.
Choose this for: Study abroad, dependant visas and permanent residence files where State authentication is not demanded.
Maharashtra authentication authorities for Marathwada applicants
Work from official sources only, and take this step solely where the receiving authority has asked for it in writing.
- Identify the university named on the degree, since Marathwada has two.
- Confirm whether the receiving authority genuinely requires State authentication.
- Carry the original degree, all semester mark sheets, a passport photocopy and the offer letter.
- Send us the authenticated degree for the MEA and embassy stages.
Designations and counters change over time. Confirm the present procedure before you hand over originals. Our reference list of Department of Higher Education authentication addresses and our step-by-step HRD attestation guide are updated separately.

Area-wise notes around Aurangabad
The process does not change across Marathwada. What differs is the university behind the degree and the industry people work in.
Aurangabad city and the MIDC belt
Waluj, Chikalthana and Shendra together form one of Maharashtra's largest industrial areas, with automotive, pharmaceutical and engineering plants employing thousands of local graduates.
Intra-company transfers from these plants to Germany, Japan and the Gulf are a regular source of apostille files, usually on tight deadlines.
Jalna and Beed
Both districts fall under BAMU and send mainly teaching, commerce and agricultural graduates abroad, with the Gulf the most common destination.
Documents route through Aurangabad, adding a day at each end.
Nanded, Latur and Parbhani
These districts sit under Swami Ramanand Teerth Marathwada University, and Latur in particular sends a high volume of medical and engineering graduates overseas.
Applicants here should name the correct university when they contact us, since it determines the verification path.
Dharashiv and the southern districts
Formerly Osmanabad, Dharashiv was renamed alongside the city in 2023. Certificates carrying the old district name remain valid.
Applicants from here often work in Pune or Mumbai and send documents from whichever city they are living in.
Every part of the Aurangabad region
We accept documents by courier from across Marathwada and return them the same way. Other documents follow the same path: PCC apostille in Aurangabad, birth certificate apostille and marriage certificate apostille.
For the wider State process, see our page on apostille for Maharashtra degrees.
Countries that accept Degree Certificate Apostille Services Aurangabad
Marathwada graduates head mainly to the Gulf for technical and healthcare work, and to Germany, Japan and the United States for engineering roles and further study.
Apostille is enough
Germany, Japan, the United States, Australia, Canada and the United Kingdom accept the MEA apostille on its own, as do Saudi Arabia since December 2022, Oman and Bahrain.
Embassy legalisation is also needed
The UAE, Qatar and Kuwait are outside the convention. Degrees for jobs there are attested by the MEA and then legalised by that country's embassy in New Delhi. See our notes on Qatar embassy attestation and Kuwait embassy attestation.
Membership of the convention changes from time to time. Check the official HCCH status table or ask us before you commit to a route.

FAQs on degree certificate apostille services aurangabad
Short answers to the questions we are asked most often about degree certificate apostille services aurangabad.
Does the renaming to Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar affect my degree?
No. A degree, passport or certificate issued when the city was called Aurangabad stays valid and does not need to be reissued. Neither the Ministry nor any embassy requires documents to match the current place name. The same applies to Osmanabad, now Dharashiv.
Is there an MEA apostille counter in Aurangabad?
No. When the Ministry decentralised apostille work to sixteen cities in 2019, Mumbai was the centre chosen for Maharashtra. Even there the Ministry does not accept documents directly from individuals, since files are lodged through authorised agencies. Aurangabad applicants therefore courier documents rather than queue locally.
My degree is from Nanded. Is the process different?
The route is identical, but the university is not. Nanded, Latur, Parbhani and Hingoli graduates usually hold Swami Ramanand Teerth Marathwada University degrees rather than BAMU ones. Both are Maharashtra universities, so State authentication goes through the same channel, but verification requests go to a different registrar.
Where does State authentication happen for a Marathwada degree?
Maharashtra runs higher education through the Directorate of Higher Education in Pune and a network of regional Joint Director offices, including one covering the Aurangabad division. Take this step only if the receiving authority has asked for it in writing, because the SDM route avoids it entirely.
I work at a plant in Waluj and my transfer is to Germany. Which route?
Germany is a Hague Convention member, so an MEA apostille is the correct legalisation and no embassy stamp follows it. Unless your employer's HR has specified State authentication, the SDM route is usually the faster path. Intra-company transfers often run to short deadlines, so send us the joining date at the outset.
Does INFINITYGRO do HRD attestation or university verification?
No. We provide Notary and SDM attestation, MEA apostille, MEA attestation and embassy legalisation. Where a destination requires State authentication or verification by BAMU or SRTMUN, you arrange that directly, and we handle the MEA and embassy stages afterwards.
How do I courier documents from Jalna or Beed?
Message us on WhatsApp for the checklist first. Place unlaminated originals flat in a rigid envelope with your passport photocopy and a signed authorisation letter, send by tracked courier or Speed Post, and share the tracking number. Documents from the smaller towns route through Aurangabad, adding about a day.
What do degree certificate apostille services Aurangabad cost?
An engineer sending one degree to Germany pays differently from a nurse sending three documents for a UAE job. The figure depends on the route, the number of documents, the destination embassy and the courier. Our fees page sets out the structure, and a WhatsApp message brings a quote for your own file.
