Degree Certificate Apostille Services Dispur: What the Assam Capital Can and Cannot Do For Your Degree
Degree certificate apostille services Dispur applicants look for usually begin with a misunderstanding worth clearing up at once: Dispur is the seat of the Assam Government, not a place where any degree is apostilled, and INFINITYGRO completes the Notary, SDM, Ministry of External Affairs and embassy stages for you in Delhi.
Dispur houses Janata Bhawan and the State secretariat. That makes it the right place to seek Assam Government authentication if your employer demands it, and the wrong place to look for an apostille counter, because none exists there or anywhere in the State.
- Straight answer: no apostille counter exists in Dispur
- The secretariat here is useful only for State authentication
- Courier from Guwahati, Dispur, Beltola or Khanapara
- Every stage of Degree Certificate Apostille Services Dispur tracked and confirmed on WhatsApp
What do degree certificate apostille services Dispur involve?
Degree certificate apostille services Dispur applicants need 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 with no further embassy stamp.
None of that happens in Dispur. The capital complex houses the State Government, so it matters if your employer demands Assam Government authentication, but the apostille itself comes from the Ministry and the prior step is either that State authentication 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 dispur is completed entirely in Delhi, whichever of the two routes your file takes.
Which university issued your degree
Dispur sits inside Guwahati, and the universities that matter for most applicants here are a short drive away rather than in the capital complex itself.
Gauhati University, Jalukbari
The region's oldest university, on the western edge of Guwahati, awards degrees through its own departments and a wide network of affiliated colleges across Lower Assam.
Most arts, science and commerce files from the capital region carry its seal.
Cotton University and the city colleges
Cotton University in Panbazar, upgraded from the historic Cotton College, awards degrees in its own name, while Handique Girls' College, B. Borooah and the other city colleges remain affiliated to Gauhati University.
Check the seal rather than the college name before you start.
Health sciences and medical degrees
Srimanta Sankaradeva University of Health Sciences, based in Guwahati, awards the MBBS, BDS and nursing qualifications held by graduates of Gauhati Medical College and the State's other institutions, alongside AIIMS Guwahati.
Regulators abroad want transcripts and a good standing certificate as well. See MBBS apostille and B.Sc Nursing apostille.
IIT Guwahati and the private universities
IIT Guwahati at North Guwahati, Assam Down Town University and Royal Global University award degrees in their own name and draw students from across the North East.
Their engineering and management graduates form most of our Germany, Japan and Singapore files from the region.
Students from neighbouring States
A large proportion of graduates in Guwahati came from Arunachal Pradesh, Nagaland, Meghalaya, Manipur and Mizoram to study here, and their degrees are Assam degrees.
See our pages for Arunachal Pradesh, Meghalaya and Nagaland if the degree was issued there instead.
What we handle and what stays with you
Because the secretariat is here, applicants often assume more of the process is local than really is. It is worth being precise.
INFINITYGRO carries out every Delhi stage. We do not apply for university verification and we do not lodge files at Janata Bhawan or the higher education directorate.
The two columns below divide degree certificate apostille services dispur between our desk and yours, so nothing is assumed.
Handled by INFINITYGRO
- Getting a registered Notary Public to seal and sign the original
- Presenting the notarised degree to a Sub-Divisional Magistrate in Delhi
- Lodging the file for the MEA apostille where the destination is a convention member
- Running MEA attestation and then embassy legalisation for the Gulf
- Picking the file up mid-way if the State has already authenticated it
Arranged by you, if asked for
- Verification of the degree by the awarding university
- Assam Government authentication, which is the one part of this process that genuinely happens in the capital
Once that stamp is on the degree, courier it to us and we resume from the MEA stage.
Two routes for degree certificate apostille services dispur
Both routes finish at an MEA apostille or an MEA attestation. The difference is who vouches for the degree before the Ministry sees it.
For applicants living in the capital, the long route is at least convenient, since the offices concerned are nearby.
State authentication route for Degree Certificate Apostille Services Dispur
For employers and councils that require the Assam Government's authentication first.
- Arranged by you
Authentication through the State machinery at Dispur and Kahilipara
The Assam secretariat at Janata Bhawan in Dispur is the seat of government, while the Department of Higher Education runs its directorate at Kahilipara nearby. Between them they handle authentication requests for degrees issued by Assam universities.

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.
- Handled by INFINITYGRO
Embassy legalisation for non-member countries
Countries outside the convention, chiefly the UAE, Qatar and Kuwait, need MEA attestation first and then a stamp from their own embassy in New Delhi, both of which we arrange. Read our guide to degree certificate attestation for the UAE before you start.
Choose this for: Gulf employment, nursing and medical licensing, and sponsors naming State authentication.
SDM route for Degree Certificate Apostille Services Dispur, handled end to end by us
No queue at the secretariat, and one accountable team throughout.
- 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. Nothing needs to be notarised locally first.
- Handled by INFINITYGRO
SDM attestation in Delhi
A Sub-Divisional Magistrate in Delhi then verifies the notary's signature and adds the attestation that allows the file to move to the Ministry. Our step-by-step guide to attestation in Delhi NCR explains this stage in detail.
- Handled by INFINITYGRO
MEA apostille or embassy legalisation
If the destination is a convention member the Ministry applies the apostille sticker; if not, it attests the degree and the embassy legalises it afterwards.
Choose this for: Study abroad, dependant visas and residence files where State authentication is not demanded.
What Dispur and Guwahati actually offer
Three different things get confused here: the seat of government, the Ministry's decentralised processing city, and a public counter. Only the first two exist, and neither lets an individual submit a degree.
- Confirm whether the receiving authority really wants State authentication before visiting any office.
- If it does, the directorate at Kahilipara is the relevant starting point rather than Janata Bhawan's reception.
- Carry the original degree, all 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 in and around Dispur
Dispur is a locality of Guwahati rather than a separate city, so in practice this page covers the whole capital region.
Dispur and Ganeshguri
Janata Bhawan, the Assam Assembly and the State departments are here, which is why so many searches for this process name Dispur.
Government employees and their families form a steady share of the files we handle from this area, usually for children studying abroad.
Beltola, Khanapara and Six Mile
The southern belt of Guwahati holds the veterinary and agricultural institutions at Khanapara along with a large residential population.
Veterinary and agricultural science graduates from here move mainly to Australia, Canada and the Gulf.

FAQs on degree certificate apostille services dispur
Short answers to the questions we are asked most often about degree certificate apostille services dispur.
Is there an MEA counter or CPV Division office in Dispur?
No. There is no CPV Division office anywhere except New Delhi, and no public apostille counter in Dispur or elsewhere in Assam. Guwahati is one of the sixteen cities where the Ministry decentralised apostille processing in 2019, but the Ministry has not accepted documents directly from members of the public anywhere in India since 2012. Any page or agent telling you otherwise is wrong.
Then why do people search for apostille in Dispur?
Because Dispur is the administrative capital of Assam, so anything involving the State Government is assumed to happen there. The one genuine connection is State authentication: if an employer demands the Assam Government's stamp before the MEA stage, that request goes through the State machinery here. Everything after that happens in Delhi.
What is the difference between Dispur and Guwahati for this purpose?
Dispur is a locality within Guwahati rather than a separate city. The secretariat at Janata Bhawan is in Dispur; the higher education directorate is at Kahilipara; the universities are spread across Guwahati. For couriering documents, treat the whole area as one.
My degree is from Gauhati University. Which State authenticates it?
Assam. Authentication follows the seal on the degree rather than where the holder lives, so this applies equally to graduates from Arunachal Pradesh, Nagaland, Meghalaya and Manipur who studied in Guwahati. Take the step only if the receiving authority has asked for it in writing.
I am a nurse from Guwahati going to the Gulf. Which route?
Usually the longer one. Gulf health authorities commonly require State authentication before MEA attestation, then embassy legalisation for the UAE, Qatar or Kuwait, plus transcripts and a good standing certificate. Saudi Arabia is different, having joined the convention in December 2022, where an apostille is often enough.
Does INFINITYGRO do HRD attestation or university verification in Assam?
No. We provide Notary and SDM attestation, MEA apostille, MEA attestation and embassy legalisation. Where a destination requires State authentication or verification by your registrar, you arrange that with the Assam authorities or the university, and we continue from the MEA stage.
How long does a courier take from Guwahati to Delhi?
Usually a day or two by air courier, which makes the capital region the fastest part of the North East for this process. Message us on WhatsApp for the checklist first, keep unlaminated originals flat in a rigid envelope, and share the tracking number once it is dispatched.
What do degree certificate apostille services Dispur cost?
An IIT Guwahati graduate sending one degree to Germany pays differently from a nurse sending three documents for a Qatar job with embassy legalisation. 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.
