Degree Certificate Apostille in Meghalaya – Fast, Reliable and Fully Tracked
Degree certificate apostille in Meghalaya is the process of getting a degree issued by a Meghalaya university certified by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), so it is legally accepted in Hague Apostille Convention countries. The MEA places a numbered sticker with a QR code on the back of your original, and INFINITYGRO completes every Delhi-side stage: Notary, SDM, MEA and embassy.
Graduates in Shillong, Tura, Jowai and Nongstoin send documents by tracked courier, and anyone visiting Delhi can hand them over at our New Ashok Nagar office.
- Whole process completed by courier, with no trip out of the state
- Notary, SDM and MEA stages handled end to end in Delhi
- Embassy legalisation for UAE, Qatar and Kuwait nursing and hospitality roles
How does degree certificate apostille in Meghalaya work?
- Pre-authentication. Your degree is authenticated either by the designated Government of Meghalaya authority (the HRD route) or by a Notary Public and a Sub-Divisional Magistrate in Delhi (the SDM route).
- MEA apostille. The Ministry of External Affairs affixes the apostille sticker, which is valid in every Hague Convention member country.
- Embassy legalisation, if needed. For the UAE, Qatar and Kuwait, MEA attestation is followed by legalisation at that country's embassy in New Delhi.
Meghalaya's graduates, particularly nurses, teachers and hospitality professionals, increasingly take their qualifications to the UK, Australia and the Gulf. The route you need is decided by the university, employer, consulate or licensing council receiving your degree, so get their requirement in writing first.

City-wise degree certificate apostille in Meghalaya
The method is identical statewide: courier your degree or visit our Delhi office, and collect it once the MEA or embassy stage is complete. Below are notes for applicants from each major education hub.
Shillong
North-Eastern Hill University, IIM Shillong, NIT Meghalaya, Martin Luther Christian University and Shillong Medical College make the capital the main source of apostille requests, especially from nursing and teaching graduates.

Graduates from West Khasi Hills and Eastri Khasi Hills districts send their degrees to us by Speed Post, and we return the apostilled originals the same way.
Byrnihat and Ri-Bhoi
The University of Science and Technology Meghalaya and institutions along the Guwahati corridor serve this district, which usually has the fastest courier links to the mainline network.

Where the apostille is enough
Saudi Arabia joined the convention with effect from 7 December 2022, and Oman and Bahrain are longer-standing members, so an MEA apostille normally satisfies employers in all three. Individual companies and councils may still publish their own checklists.
Where embassy legalisation applies
The UAE, Qatar and Kuwait remain outside the convention. Degrees for jobs there need MEA attestation followed by legalisation at that country's embassy in New Delhi. Nursing and hotel employers in the UAE and Qatar frequently ask for State authentication as well as embassy legalisation.

FAQs on degree certificate apostille in Meghalaya
What is degree certificate apostille in Meghalaya?
Degree certificate apostille in Meghalaya is the Ministry of External Affairs certifying a degree issued in the state so it is legally valid in Hague Apostille Convention countries. The MEA affixes a numbered sticker with a QR code to the back of the original, after pre-authentication either by the Government of Meghalaya or by a Notary Public and an SDM in Delhi.
Can I complete the process without leaving Meghalaya?
Yes. On the SDM route, everything is done by courier. You post your degree to our Delhi office, we complete the Notary, SDM, MEA and embassy stages, and the originals return by tracked courier to Shillong, Tura, Jowai or wherever you live.
How long does it take from Shillong or Tura?
Courier from Meghalaya usually takes three to five days each way, routed via Guwahati. The Notary, SDM and MEA stages each take a few working days. If your destination requires State authentication, add time for university verification and Directorate processing.
Which documents are required?
The original degree certificate, a passport copy and a signed authorisation letter. Add mark sheets or transcripts if the receiving authority asks, the State-authenticated degree if you follow the HRD route, and visa or employer details for embassy legalisation.
Which department handles higher education in Meghalaya?
The Directorate of Higher and Technical Education, under the Education Department in Shillong, administers college, university, technical and vocational education in the state. State authentication is issued by designated Government of Meghalaya officers, so confirm the current desk before applying.
I am a nurse from Shillong moving to the UK. Which route applies?
The UK is a Hague Convention member, so an MEA apostille is the relevant legalisation. Nursing regulators and recruitment agencies publish their own document lists, so check whether State authentication is named. If it is not, the SDM route is faster.
Do you handle NEHU verification or State attestation?
No. We provide Notary and SDM attestation, MEA apostille, MEA attestation and embassy legalisation. University verification and State authentication are arranged by the degree holder when a destination requires them.
How much does degree certificate apostille in Meghalaya cost?
The cost depends on the route, destination country, whether embassy legalisation is needed, the number of documents and two-way courier. We confirm an itemised quote before starting; see our fees page or WhatsApp +91 85955 58517.
