Degree Certificate Apostille Services Trissur: Home of the University on Every Kerala Medical Degree
Degree certificate apostille services Trissur applicants need matter far beyond this district, because the university that awards every medical and nursing degree in Kerala is based here, and INFINITYGRO completes the Notary, SDM, Ministry of External Affairs and embassy stages for all of them.
Kerala University of Health Sciences sits in Thrissur. That is why a nurse trained in Kannur and a doctor trained in Thiruvananthapuram both hold degrees naming this city, even if neither has studied here.
- Kerala medical and nursing degrees statewide name Thrissur
- Courier from Thrissur, Chalakudy, Irinjalakuda or Guruvayur
- Built for nursing files and classical arts qualifications
- Every stage of Degree Certificate Apostille Services Trissur tracked and confirmed on WhatsApp
What do degree certificate apostille services Trissur involve?
Degree certificate apostille services Trissur 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. Kerala applicants obtain that prior step either through NORKA-ROOTS or the State authorities, or through 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 trissur is completed entirely in Delhi, whichever of the two routes your file takes.
Which university issued your Trissur degree
Thrissur is unusual: two of the universities based here serve the whole State, while the district's own colleges are affiliated to a university in another district altogether.
Kerala University of Health Sciences
KUHS in Thrissur awards the MBBS, BDS, nursing, pharmacy, physiotherapy and allied health degrees for the entire State.
That is why a Kozhikode, Kochi or Thiruvananthapuram medical degree names Thrissur. Verification for any Kerala health science degree comes here. See B.Sc Nursing apostille and MBBS apostille.
Kerala Agricultural University, Vellanikkara
The State agricultural university is headquartered at Vellanikkara in Thrissur and awards agriculture, horticulture, forestry and veterinary science degrees across Kerala.
Its graduates move to Australia, Canada and New Zealand for skilled migration, where assessing bodies want transcripts apostilled alongside the degree.
University of Calicut, for the district's colleges
Thrissur district's arts, science and commerce colleges, including St. Thomas, Kerala Varma and Vimala, are affiliated to the University of Calicut at Thenhipalam in Malappuram.
So a general degree earned in Thrissur names Calicut rather than this city, which catches people out regularly.
Kerala Kalamandalam and the classical arts
The deemed university for art and culture at Cheruthuruthy awards degrees in Kathakali, Mohiniyattam, Koodiyattam and the percussion traditions.
Performers and teachers taking posts or long engagements abroad need these legalised, and the receiving institution sets its own requirements rather than following an academic template.
Engineering degrees from KTU
Government Engineering College Thrissur and the district's other engineering colleges award their degrees through APJ Abdul Kalam Technological University in Thiruvananthapuram.
See our Thiruvananthapuram page and B.Tech degree apostille.
What we handle and what stays with you
Because so many Kerala applicants deal with Thrissur for verification, it helps to separate that step from ours.
INFINITYGRO carries out every Delhi stage. We do not apply for university verification, whether to KUHS or any other registrar, and we do not lodge files with NORKA.
The two columns below divide degree certificate apostille services trissur 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
- University verification and NORKA or State attestation, where the council demands them
Once those are done, courier the degree to us and we resume from the MEA stage.
Two routes for degree certificate apostille services trissur
Both routes finish at an MEA apostille or an MEA attestation. The difference is who vouches for the degree before the Ministry sees it.
Nursing files from anywhere in Kerala often involve KUHS as well, which is a separate step from State attestation.
State authentication route for Degree Certificate Apostille Services Trissur
For councils and employers that require Kerala's own attestation first.
- Arranged by you
Attestation through NORKA-ROOTS or the State authorities
NORKA-ROOTS, the Kerala Government agency for non-resident Keralites, runs certificate attestation centres at Thiruvananthapuram, Ernakulam and Kozhikode, and is the usual route for Kerala emigrants needing State-level attestation.
Open the NORKA-ROOTS certificate attestation page - Handled by INFINITYGRO
MEA apostille for Hague Convention countries
Courier the attested 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, nursing and medical registration, and employers naming State attestation.
SDM route for Degree Certificate Apostille Services Trissur, handled end to end by us
No visit to a NORKA centre, 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.
- 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: Skilled migration, study abroad, arts engagements and residence files.
KUHS verification, NORKA attestation and the apostille
Three different things get confused on Kerala healthcare files. KUHS verification is the university confirming the award. NORKA attestation is a State step. The apostille is the Ministry's. A council may want one, two or all three.
- Identify which university actually awarded your degree: KUHS, KAU, Calicut or KTU.
- Ask the council or employer in writing whether they want university verification, NORKA attestation, or only the apostille.
- Complete whichever of those they name before sending the degree to us.
- Send us the degree for the MEA apostille and any embassy stage.
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 Thrissur or drop off in Delhi
Thrissur sits between Kochi and Kozhikode on the main rail line, with both airports within reach, so documents move quickly.
Option 1: visit our Delhi office
Applicants travelling to Delhi, or with relatives here, are welcome at our New Ashok Nagar office near the Blue Line metro station. We check the file, confirm the route and issue a signed receipt while you wait.
- File check and route advice in a single visit

Option 2: courier from Thrissur or the central districts
Speed Post and the private couriers run daily to Delhi, with Chalakudy, Irinjalakuda, Guruvayur, Kunnamkulam and Palakkad routed through the city.
- 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
- Healthcare files: tell us whether KUHS verification is already done
- Share the tracking number once dispatched
Collect in person or receive by return courier

Comparing the two Degree Certificate Apostille Services Trissur routes
Use this to place your own file. If an agent and your council disagree, go by the council's written list.
| Factor | Process 1: State route | Process 2: SDM route |
|---|---|---|
| Pre-authentication by | NORKA-ROOTS or the Kerala State authority | Notary Public and SDM, Delhi |
| Arranged by | The degree holder | INFINITYGRO |
| MEA stage | INFINITYGRO | INFINITYGRO |
| Embassy legalisation | INFINITYGRO, if needed | INFINITYGRO, if needed |
| Time taken | Longer, especially where KUHS verification is also required | Shorter, with fewer offices involved |
| Your involvement | A visit to a NORKA centre | Office visit or courier only |
| Best for | Gulf employers and nursing councils | Skilled migration, study and arts files |
Area-wise notes around Thrissur
The process is the same across central Kerala. What differs is the awarding university and where people are heading.
Thrissur city
KUHS, the Government Medical College, Jubilee Mission and Amala sit in and around the city, along with the district's colleges and the gold trade in the Round.
Nursing files dominate, mostly for the Gulf, Ireland and the United Kingdom.
Chalakudy and Irinjalakuda
The southern taluks send a steady stream of nursing and technical graduates abroad, with a long tradition of Gulf migration.
Documents from here reach the city the same day.
Guruvayur, Kunnamkulam and the north
The northern taluks have a high rate of Gulf migration, and families here frequently legalise several documents at once for dependant visas.
Doing them as a single batch is quicker and cheaper than sending them separately.
Cheruthuruthy and Shoranur
Kerala Kalamandalam at Cheruthuruthy draws students of classical dance and music from across India and abroad.
Performers taking engagements overseas need their qualifications legalised, and requirements vary by country and institution.
Everywhere in Kerala
We accept documents by courier from across the State and return them the same way. Other documents follow the same path: PCC apostille in Trissur, birth certificate apostille and marriage certificate apostille.
For the State page see Kerala, and for other cities Kochi and Thiruvananthapuram.
Countries that accept Degree Certificate Apostille Services Trissur
Central Kerala's outflow is led by nursing to the Gulf, Ireland and the United Kingdom, with agricultural graduates heading to Australia and Canada and artists to Europe and North America.
Apostille is enough
Ireland, the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Germany and the United States 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 Trissur
Courier or bring these to start. Nursing files often need KUHS verification first.
- Original degree certificate from KUHS, KAU, Calicut or KTU
- University-verified degree, where the council has asked for it
- NORKA-attested degree, only if you are using Process 1
- Transcripts and consolidated mark sheets, for licensing and assessment files
- Photocopy of your passport, photo and address pages
- Signed authorisation letter (we email a template)
- 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 trissur costs
Every file is quoted after we see it. The figure depends on:
- Whether we run the SDM route or start from a NORKA-attested 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 trissur
Short answers to the questions we are asked most often about degree certificate apostille services trissur.
My nursing degree names Thrissur but I studied in Kannur. Is that a mistake?
No. Kerala University of Health Sciences is based in Thrissur and awards the medical, dental, nursing and allied health degrees for the entire State. A graduate of any Kerala nursing or medical college therefore holds a degree naming Thrissur. It is entirely normal and changes nothing about the route.
What is the difference between KUHS verification and the MEA apostille?
They are separate steps. KUHS verification is the university confirming it awarded the degree, usually because an overseas nursing or medical council asked. The apostille is the Ministry certifying the document for international use. A council may want one, the other, or both, so work from their written list.
My BA is from a Thrissur college but names Calicut. Why?
Because Thrissur district's arts, science and commerce colleges are affiliated to the University of Calicut at Thenhipalam in Malappuram. Only KUHS and Kerala Agricultural University are Thrissur-based, and both serve the whole State. Your degree is still a Kerala degree and follows the same route.
I hold a Kalamandalam degree and have an engagement abroad.
Classical arts degrees go through the same Notary, SDM and MEA chain as any other. What differs is that the receiving institution, festival or visa office sets its own requirements rather than following an academic template, so send us their written requirement before anything is posted.
Is NORKA attestation compulsory before the apostille?
No. NORKA-ROOTS attestation is required only where the employer, council or destination asks for State attestation in writing. Many skilled migration, study and residence files do not need it, and the SDM route in Delhi serves as the prior authentication instead. Ask for the requirement in writing before paying anyone.
I am an agricultural graduate applying for Australian skilled migration.
Australia is a convention member, so an apostille is the correct legalisation with no embassy stamp afterwards. The assessing body for your occupation sets its own list, which normally includes full transcripts alongside the degree. Kerala Agricultural University, based here at Vellanikkara, handles verification if it is requested.
Does INFINITYGRO do KUHS verification or NORKA attestation?
No. We provide Notary and SDM attestation, MEA apostille, MEA attestation and embassy legalisation. Where a council requires verification from KUHS or attestation from NORKA, you arrange that directly, and we continue from the MEA stage.
What do degree certificate apostille services Trissur cost?
A nurse sending a degree, transcripts and a good standing certificate to Ireland pays differently from a family legalising four documents for a Gulf dependant visa with embassy legalisation. The figure depends on the route, the number of documents, the destination and the courier. Our fees page sets out the structure, and a WhatsApp message brings a quote for your own file.
