Degree Certificate Apostille Services Gurgaon: Built for Corporate Transfers and Short Notice Periods
Degree certificate apostille services Gurgaon professionals need usually arrive with a deadline attached, because this is a city of intra-company transfers, and INFINITYGRO completes the Notary, SDM, Ministry of External Affairs and embassy stages from an office roughly an hour away.
Gurugram was officially renamed from Gurgaon in 2016. Degrees and certificates issued under either name are equally valid, and no affidavit or reissue is ever required for an apostille.
- An hour from our office, with no State to courier through
- Built around notice periods and visa appointment dates
- Straight answers when the degree belongs to another State
- Every stage of Degree Certificate Apostille Services Gurgaon tracked and confirmed on WhatsApp
What do degree certificate apostille services Gurgaon involve?
Degree certificate apostille services Gurgaon 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 with no further embassy stamp.
The Ministry certifies only what has already been vouched for. That prior step is either authentication by the State that issued the degree, 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, which is the longer of the two timelines.
In short, degree certificate apostille services gurgaon is completed entirely in Delhi, whichever of the two routes your file takes.
Which university issued your degree
Gurugram is a city people move to rather than study in, so the single most important question here is not which local university you attended but which State issued your degree.
Most Gurugram professionals did not study here
The corporate workforce comes from every State in India, and authentication follows the seal on the degree rather than your current address, rent agreement or Aadhaar.
We handle all of them: Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, West Bengal, Kerala, Andhra Pradesh and the rest.
Universities within Gurugram
Gurugram University, SGT University at Budhera, The NorthCap University, Ansal University, GD Goenka, K.R. Mangalam and Amity Gurugram all award degrees in their own name.
These are Haryana degrees, so State authentication, if required, goes to the Haryana authorities at Panchkula rather than anywhere nearer.
Degrees affiliated to MDU Rohtak
Several older colleges in the district are affiliated to Maharshi Dayanand University, Rohtak, so their degrees carry a Rohtak seal.
The route is identical to any other Haryana degree. See our Haryana page for the State-level process.
Medical and nursing qualifications
SGT's medical and dental faculties, Medanta's training programmes and the nursing institutions in the district supply a steady stream of healthcare files.
Overseas regulators want transcripts and a good standing certificate alongside the degree. See MBBS apostille and B.Sc Nursing apostille.
Corporate transfer files
The majority of our Gurugram caseload is not academic at all but employment driven: a transfer to a group company in Dubai, Singapore, London or Frankfurt with a joining date already fixed.
The destination decides everything. Hague members need only an apostille; the Gulf needs attestation and an embassy stamp, which takes longer.
What we handle and what stays with you
With a notice period running, the worst outcome is discovering a missing step in week three. Here is the split, stated once.
INFINITYGRO carries out every Delhi stage. We do not apply for university verification and we do not lodge files with Haryana or any other State's authentication department.
The two columns below divide degree certificate apostille services gurgaon between our desk and yours, so nothing is assumed.
Handled by INFINITYGRO
- Notarisation of the original by a registered Notary Public
- Attestation by an SDM office in Delhi
- The Ministry of External Affairs apostille stage
- Embassy legalisation in New Delhi for countries outside the convention
- Continuing from the MEA stage on an already authenticated degree
Arranged by you, if asked for
- Verification of the degree by the awarding university
- State authentication from whichever State issued the degree, where the employer demands it
Once that stamp is on the degree, bring it to our office or courier it, and we take over from the MEA stage.
Two routes for degree certificate apostille services gurgaon
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 a transfer with a fixed joining date, the choice is usually settled by what the destination actually requires rather than by preference.
State authentication route for Degree Certificate Apostille Services Gurgaon
For employers and sponsors that require the issuing State's authentication first.
- Arranged by you
State authentication, wherever the degree came from
For a Haryana degree that means the Higher Education Department at Shiksha Sadan, Sector 5, Panchkula, around 250 kilometres away. For a degree from another State it means that State's own authority, which is why identifying the seal matters before anything is booked.

MEA apostille for Hague Convention countries
Bring or 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
Where the destination has not joined the convention, the degree is attested by the Ministry and then legalised at that country's mission in New Delhi. Read our guide to degree certificate attestation for the UAE before you start.
Choose this for: Gulf postings and sponsors who name State authentication in writing.
SDM route for Degree Certificate Apostille Services Gurgaon, handled end to end by us
Nothing outside Delhi at all, and the fastest option for a tight timeline.
- 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. A file dropped off in the morning can begin the same day.
- Handled by INFINITYGRO
SDM attestation in Delhi
Next the file reaches an SDM office in Delhi, where the notary's signature is checked and the magistrate's attestation is applied. Our step-by-step guide to attestation in Delhi NCR explains this stage in detail.
- Handled by INFINITYGRO
MEA apostille or embassy legalisation
The Ministry either apostilles the degree, for convention countries, or attests it so that the destination's embassy can legalise it.
Choose this for: Intra-company transfers to Hague member countries, study permits and dependant visas.
Haryana authorities and the NCR boundary
Gurugram sits in Haryana, Noida in Uttar Pradesh and Delhi is its own territory, yet people move between them daily. For documents, the boundary is absolute.
- Look at the degree and identify the issuing State before booking any travel.
- Ask your employer's mobility team in writing whether State authentication is required.
- For Haryana degrees, the Resident Commissioner's office in Delhi is worth asking about before driving to Panchkula.
- Bring or send us the file and we complete the Delhi 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.
Drop off on your way into Delhi, or courier
Gurugram to our office is a straightforward run, and many clients hand over documents on a weekday evening or a Saturday.
Option 1: visit our Delhi office
Our office is at C-5 A/2 New Ashok Nagar, near the Blue Line metro station, which connects directly to the Yellow Line for Gurugram. We check the file, confirm the route and issue a signed receipt on the spot, usually in under half an hour.
- File check and route advice in a single visit
- Signed receipt covering every original
- Call ahead so a counsellor is free when you arrive
Office address:
C – 5 A/2 New Ashok Nagar, Delhi – 110096, IndiaWorking hours: Monday to Saturday, 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM (Sunday closed)
Option 2: courier from anywhere in Gurugram
A local courier reaches us next day from Cyber City, Golf Course Road, Sohna Road, Manesar and the sectors, and Speed Post works equally well.
- Ask for the checklist on WhatsApp before you seal the envelope
- Keep unlaminated originals flat in a rigid envelope
- Include a passport photocopy and a signed authorisation letter
- A colleague or driver may hand over the file with your letter
- Send the notice period end date and the destination at the outset
Collect in person or receive by return courier
We WhatsApp you a scan as soon as the apostille is on, so the spelling and dates can be checked before anything moves. You can then collect in person or have the originals couriered to your Gurugram address. Nothing in your degree certificate apostille services gurgaon file moves without you being told first.

Area-wise notes across Gurugram
The process is the same across the district. What differs is the destination people in each belt are heading for.
Cyber City, Udyog Vihar and MG Road
The original corporate core generates the largest share of our files, mostly transfers to the United States, the United Kingdom, Singapore and Germany.
These files run against notice periods, so we flag at the outset anything that will not fit the date.
Golf Course Road and the southern sectors
Sectors 42 to 58 and the Golf Course Extension belt are heavily residential, with consulting, finance and technology professionals moving abroad regularly.
Family relocations from this belt usually need the degree, the marriage certificate and children's birth certificates legalised together.
Sohna Road, Manesar and New Gurugram
The manufacturing belt around Manesar and IMT employs engineers and plant staff who move to the Gulf and South East Asia on technical contracts.
Gulf postings need MEA attestation and embassy legalisation rather than an apostille, which adds time.
Dwarka Expressway and the northern sectors
The newer sectors house a younger workforce, with a high proportion of student visa and skilled migration files for Canada and Australia.
Both countries accept an apostille, so these files usually take the shorter route.
Everywhere in Gurugram and south Haryana
We accept documents by courier from across the district and welcome drop-offs at our Delhi office. Other documents follow the same path: PCC apostille in Gurugram, birth certificate apostille and marriage certificate apostille in Haryana.
Files also reach us from Rewari, Nuh, Palwal and Faridabad. For the State process see our Haryana page, and for the capital Delhi.
Countries that accept Degree Certificate Apostille Services Gurgaon
Gurugram's outflow is corporate first: transfers to North America, Europe and Singapore, Gulf postings from the manufacturing belt, and a steady student stream to Canada and Australia.
Apostille is enough
The United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, Singapore, Canada, Australia and the Netherlands accept the MEA apostille on its own, as do Saudi Arabia since December 2022, Oman and Bahrain.
Embassy legalisation is also needed
Because the UAE, Qatar and Kuwait have not joined the convention, an apostille is not accepted there; the degree needs MEA attestation and an embassy stamp. 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.
Documents needed for Degree Certificate Apostille Services Gurgaon
Bring or courier these to start. Family relocations usually need a full document set.
- Original degree certificate, whichever State issued it
- State-authenticated degree, only for Process 1
- Transcripts and consolidated mark sheets, where the receiving authority asks
- Photocopy of your passport, photo and address pages
- Signed authorisation letter, if a colleague is handing over the file
- Employer mobility checklist, where embassy legalisation applies
- Joining date or visa appointment date, so we can tell you what fits
Most delays come from avoidable errors; our guide to mistakes to avoid during degree apostille lists them.

- The destination, because every mission sets its own fee
- Whether you send one document or a full set with transcripts

FAQs on degree certificate apostille services gurgaon
Short answers to the questions we are asked most often about degree certificate apostille services gurgaon.
I live in Gurugram but my degree is from Uttar Pradesh. Which State?
Uttar Pradesh. Authentication follows the seal on the degree rather than where you live or pay rent, so a Lucknow University or AKTU degree stays with Uttar Pradesh however long you have been in Gurugram. The Delhi stages are identical either way; only the State step, if required at all, is different.
Does the Gurgaon to Gurugram renaming affect my documents?
No. Degrees, passports and certificates issued under either name are equally valid, and no affidavit or reissue is needed. Neither the Ministry nor any embassy requires place names on documents to match the current form.
My notice period is three weeks. Can the apostille be done in time?
Often yes on the SDM route, if documents reach us quickly and no embassy legalisation is involved. Where State authentication or an embassy stamp is required, three weeks is usually not realistic, and we will say so rather than let you find out late. Send the joining date and destination before you commit to anything.
Is State authentication for a Haryana degree done in Gurugram?
No. The Haryana Higher Education Department operates from Shiksha Sadan in Sector 5, Panchkula, about 250 kilometres away. The Ministry's list of Haryana authorities also includes the Resident Commissioner's office in New Delhi, which is far closer for NCR applicants and worth asking about first.
My transfer is to Dubai. Is an apostille enough?
No. The UAE is outside the Hague Convention, so the degree needs MEA attestation followed by legalisation at the UAE embassy in New Delhi. Build in the embassy's own processing time, which varies and is outside anybody's control. Saudi Arabia is the opposite case, having joined the convention in December 2022.
Can my office driver or a colleague drop the documents?
Yes, and it happens often here. They bring the original degree with a photocopy of your passport and an authorisation letter signed by you. We issue the receipt in your name and send updates directly to your own number.
Does INFINITYGRO do HRD attestation or university verification?
No. We provide Notary and SDM attestation, MEA apostille, MEA attestation and embassy legalisation. Where an employer requires State authentication or verification by your university, you arrange that directly, and we handle the Delhi stages.
What do degree certificate apostille services Gurgaon cost?
A consultant sending one degree to London pays differently from a family relocating to Dubai with four documents needing embassy legalisation. The figure depends on the route, the number of documents, the destination embassy and whether you collect in person. Our fees page sets out the structure, and a WhatsApp message brings a quote for your own file.
