Degree Certificate Apostille Services Nagpur: MEA Apostille and Embassy Legalisation for Vidarbha
Degree certificate apostille services Nagpur graduates need are what turn a Rashtrasant Tukadoji Maharaj Nagpur University, VNIT or MAFSU degree into a document accepted abroad, and INFINITYGRO completes the Notary, SDM, Ministry of External Affairs and embassy stages on your behalf.
Nagpur sits closer to Delhi than Mumbai does by rail, which matters because every stage after your university happens in the capital. Vidarbha applicants are better placed than the distance from their own State capital suggests.
- Well connected to Delhi by rail and air for quick transit
- Courier from Nagpur, Amravati, Wardha, Chandrapur or Akola
- Built for aviation, defence and veterinary science files
- Every stage of Degree Certificate Apostille Services Nagpur tracked and confirmed on WhatsApp
What do degree certificate apostille services Nagpur involve?
Degree certificate apostille services Nagpur 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 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 nagpur is completed entirely in Delhi, whichever of the two routes your file takes.
Which university issued your Nagpur degree
Vidarbha has its own regional university alongside two statewide specialist ones based here, plus the national institutes that have grown up around the city in the last two decades.
Rashtrasant Tukadoji Maharaj Nagpur University
RTMNU is the regional university for Nagpur, Wardha, Bhandara and Gondia, awarding arts, science, commerce, law, engineering and pharmacy degrees through its affiliated colleges.
Since Maharashtra has no separate technical university, engineering graduates here hold RTMNU degrees rather than a technical university's.
VNIT, IIM Nagpur and the national institutes
Visvesvaraya National Institute of Technology, IIM Nagpur, IIIT Nagpur, AIIMS Nagpur and the National Law University award degrees in their own name.
Their alumni move mainly to the United States, Germany and Singapore, where an apostille on the degree and transcripts is enough.
MAFSU and veterinary science
Maharashtra Animal and Fishery Sciences University is headquartered in Nagpur and awards the State's veterinary and fishery science degrees.
Veterinary graduates moving to Australia, Canada and the Gulf usually need transcripts apostilled alongside the degree, and the destination regulator sets its own list.
Medical degrees from MUHS, Nashik
Government Medical College Nagpur, Indira Gandhi Government Medical College and the nursing institutions award their degrees through Maharashtra University of Health Sciences at Nashik.
So a Nagpur-trained doctor's degree names Nashik. See MBBS apostille and B.Sc Nursing apostille.
Kavikulaguru Kalidas Sanskrit University, Ramtek
The Sanskrit university at Ramtek awards degrees held by scholars and teachers who move abroad for Indology, Sanskrit teaching and yoga philosophy posts.
Receiving institutions abroad vary widely in what they ask for, so send us their written requirement before anything is posted.
Amravati and the western districts
Sant Gadge Baba Amravati University covers Amravati, Akola, Yavatmal, Buldhana and Washim, so applicants from those districts hold its degrees rather than RTMNU ones.
Both are Maharashtra degrees and follow the same route; only the registrar differs.
What we handle and what stays with you
Vidarbha applicants are a long way from both Pune and Delhi, so it helps to know exactly which journeys are necessary and which are not.
INFINITYGRO carries out every Delhi stage. We do not apply for university verification and we do not lodge files with the Maharashtra higher education directorate.
The two columns below divide degree certificate apostille services nagpur 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 the Maharashtra authorities, where the destination demands it
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 nagpur
Both routes finish at an MEA apostille or an MEA attestation. The difference is who vouches for the degree before the Ministry sees it.
From Nagpur the long route involves the regional Joint Director's office, which is nearer than Pune but still a separate journey.
State authentication route for Degree Certificate Apostille Services Nagpur
For employers and councils that require Maharashtra's authentication first.
- Arranged by you
Authentication by the Maharashtra higher education authorities
Maharashtra administers higher education through the Directorate of Higher Education in Pune and a network of regional Joint Director offices, one of which covers the Nagpur division.

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
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 employment, veterinary and medical registration, and sponsors naming State authentication.
SDM route for Degree Certificate Apostille Services Nagpur, handled end to end by us
No trip to the divisional office or to Pune, 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
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: Study abroad, corporate transfers, dependant visas and residence files.
Maharashtra authorities for Vidarbha applicants
Work from official sources only, and take this step solely where the receiving authority has asked for it in writing.
- Identify the awarding university, which may be RTMNU, Amravati, MAFSU or MUHS.
- Ask the employer or council in writing whether State authentication is required.
- 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.
Courier from Nagpur or drop off in Delhi
Nagpur sits on the main north-south rail and air corridors, so documents reach Delhi quickly and reliably.
Option 1: visit our Delhi office

Comparing the two Degree Certificate Apostille Services Nagpur routes
Use this to place your own file. If the receiving authority's wording is unclear, forward it to us rather than guessing.

| Pre-authentication by | Designated Government of Maharashtra authority | Notary Public and SDM, Delhi |
| Arranged by | The degree holder | INFINITYGRO |
| MEA stage | INFINITYGRO | INFINITYGRO |
| Embassy legalisation | INFINITYGRO, if needed | INFINITYGRO, if needed |

Area-wise notes across Vidarbha
The process is the same across the region. What differs is the awarding university and the sector people work in.
Nagpur city
Civil Lines, Dharampeth, Sadar and the university campuses sit at the centre, with VNIT, AIIMS, IIM and the law university spread around the city.
A broad mix of files comes from here: engineering, medicine, law and management, heading mainly west.
MIHAN and the aviation belt
The multi-modal hub and special economic zone south of the city houses aircraft maintenance, logistics and technology operations.
Aircraft maintenance engineers and logistics staff from here move to Gulf carriers and freight operators, where the employer sets the document list and an embassy stamp is usually required.
Wardha, Bhandara and Gondia
These districts fall under RTMNU and send mainly teaching, agricultural and technical graduates abroad.
Documents route through Nagpur and reach Delhi within a day or two.
Amravati, Akola and Yavatmal
Western Vidarbha falls under Sant Gadge Baba Amravati University, with a strong agricultural and teaching graduate base.
Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth at Akola adds agricultural science files for Australia and Canada.
Chandrapur and the eastern districts
The coal and power belt around Chandrapur and Ballarpur employs a large technical workforce, many of whom take Gulf contracts.
Those files need MEA attestation and embassy legalisation rather than an apostille.
Everywhere in Vidarbha
We accept documents by courier from across the region and return them the same way. Other documents follow the same path: PCC apostille in Nagpur, birth certificate apostille and marriage certificate apostille.
For the State page see Maharashtra, and for other cities Mumbai, Pune and Aurangabad.
Countries that accept Degree Certificate Apostille Services Nagpur
Vidarbha graduates head west for study and research, to the Gulf for aviation, power and technical contracts, and to Australia and Canada for agricultural and veterinary migration.
Apostille is enough
The United States, Germany, Singapore, Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom and Japan 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 Nagpur
Courier or bring these to start. Regulated professions need the regulator's list as well.
- Original degree certificate from RTMNU, Amravati University, MAFSU, MUHS or your institute
- 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 (we email a template)
- Employer or regulator document list, where embassy legalisation applies
- Return address and mobile number, if you are not collecting
Most delays come from avoidable errors; our guide to mistakes to avoid during degree apostille lists them.
What degree certificate apostille services nagpur costs
Every file is quoted after we see it. The figure depends on:
- Whether we run the SDM route or start from an already authenticated degree
- The final stamp required: apostille alone, or attestation plus legalisation
- The destination, because every mission sets its own fee
- Whether you send one document or a full set with transcripts
- Office collection, or tracked courier both ways

FAQs on degree certificate apostille services nagpur
Short answers to the questions we are asked most often about degree certificate apostille services nagpur.
Is there an MEA apostille counter in Nagpur?
No. In Maharashtra the Ministry's decentralised processing city is Mumbai, and in any case the Ministry has not accepted documents over the counter from members of the public anywhere in India since 2012. Files are lodged through authorised agencies, which is why couriering to us is the practical route.
My engineering degree is from RTMNU, not a technical university. Is that normal?
Yes. Unlike most States, Maharashtra has no single technical university, so engineering colleges affiliate to the regional university. A Nagpur engineering graduate therefore holds an RTMNU degree, handled exactly like any other degree from that university.
My MBBS is from GMC Nagpur but the degree names Nashik. Why?
Maharashtra University of Health Sciences at Nashik awards the medical, dental and nursing degrees for the whole State, so graduates of Government Medical College Nagpur and IGGMC hold degrees naming Nashik. Verification requests go there rather than to your college.
I am a veterinary graduate moving to Australia. What do I need?
Australia is a convention member, so an apostille is the correct legalisation with no embassy stamp afterwards. Veterinary registration there runs through a separate assessment process with its own document list, usually including full transcripts. Send us that list before you start so the file is built correctly.
My degree is from Amravati University. Same process as RTMNU?
Yes. Sant Gadge Baba Amravati University covers the western Vidarbha districts, and both are Maharashtra universities, so State authentication goes through the same channel. Only the registrar handling verification differs, which matters if a foreign body writes to the university directly.
I work at MIHAN and have an offer from a Gulf airline. Which route?
For the UAE, Qatar or Kuwait the documents need MEA attestation followed by embassy legalisation, not an apostille. Aviation employers usually specify exactly which licences and certificates must be legalised alongside the degree, so get that list in writing before anything is posted.
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 RTMNU, MAFSU or MUHS, you arrange that directly, and we handle the MEA and embassy stages afterwards.
What do degree certificate apostille services Nagpur cost?
A VNIT graduate sending one degree to Germany pays differently from an aviation technician sending four documents for a Gulf airline 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.
