Degree Certificate Apostille in Daman (MEA)
Degree certificate apostille in Daman and Diu without a trip to Delhi or a wait for state verification. Courier your degree from Daman or Diu; we get it notarised, attested by the SDM and apostilled by the Ministry of External Affairs in Delhi, then send it back by Blue Dart.
Degree certificate apostille in Daman: quick answer
Degree certificate apostille in Daman is done in Delhi, not in Daman. The Ministry of External Affairs issues every apostille from its centres, and before that the degree needs an authentication it can rely on. Instead of state education verification, the degree can be notarised and attested by the Sub-Divisional Magistrate (SDM) in Delhi, and the MEA then apostilles it.
INFINITYGRO runs this Delhi route for graduates in Daman and Diu who courier their papers to us. The total is Rs 1,000–1,500 per document, all-inclusive, usually 2–3 working days after the degree reaches us; courier is extra. If your employer or university abroad specifically wants state-level verification, read Part 2 first.

FAQs: Degree Certificate Apostille in Daman (MEA)
Is there an MEA apostille office in Daman?
No. The MEA issues apostilles through its collection centres, and we submit in Delhi. From Daman or Diu you courier the original degree to our Delhi office, and it comes back to you after the apostille. You do not need to travel.
My degree is from VNSGU through a Daman college. Does that change anything?
No. A VNSGU degree goes through the same notary, SDM and MEA route in Delhi as any other Indian degree. Only if your receiver specifically asks for state education verification would a Gujarat-level step be needed, and that you apply for yourself.

Rs 1,000 to Rs 1,500 per document, all-inclusive. That covers the notary, the SDM attestation, the Rs 50 MEA fee and our service. Courier between Daman and Delhi is extra, at actual cost.
How long will it take?
Usually 2 to 3 working days in Delhi after your documents arrive. Courier from Daman or Diu to Delhi and back adds a few days each way. We send updates on WhatsApp at each stage.
Do you do state HRD attestation for my degree?
Usually not, but where it is required we arrange State HRD attestation for 16 States; see which States, the documents and the usual time on our HRD attestation page. We use the Delhi notary and SDM route, which most Hague countries accept with the MEA apostille. If your checklist demands state verification, tell us before sending.
I am going to Dubai. Is the apostille enough?
No. The UAE is not part of the Apostille Convention. The degree needs MEA attestation, then UAE Embassy legalisation in New Delhi and UAE MOFA attestation, which we do online. The full chain usually takes 5 to 7 working days.
Can a family member in Daman send my degree while I am abroad?
Yes. A relative can courier the original degree with a copy of your passport. We return it to the address you give us, in Daman, Diu or elsewhere in India. Send us a photo first so we can confirm the route.
Should I send marksheets too?
Only if the university, employer or authority abroad asks for them. Many admissions offices want the degree and all semester marksheets; many employers want only the degree. Check your checklist; each document is charged separately.
