Diploma certificate apostille Bihar: how it works
Diploma certificate apostille in Bihar means getting your SBTE Bihar or other diploma stamped by the Ministry of External Affairs in New Delhi, so that it is accepted in countries such as Saudi Arabia, Oman and Bahrain. The route is Notary, SDM New Delhi and then the MEA apostille.
Searching for diploma certificate apostille Bihar or diploma certificate attestation in Bihar? Both stamps come from the Ministry of External Affairs in New Delhi, not from an office inside the state, so you can start from home by courier.
Diploma certificate attestation in Bihar is the route for the UAE, Qatar and Kuwait: the same Notary, SDM and MEA stages, followed by legalisation at that country’s embassy.

Why Bihar diploma holders need apostille or attestation
Bihar sends one of the largest groups of skilled workers to the Gulf. Electricians, fitters, welders, site supervisors, pharmacists and cooks from Siwan, Gopalganj, Saran, Darbhanga, Muzaffarpur and Patna are hired by companies in Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Kuwait and Oman.
Before a visa or work permit is issued, the employer asks for the diploma with an official Indian government stamp. For Hague Convention countries that stamp is the MEA apostille. For non-Hague countries it is MEA attestation followed by the embassy’s legalisation. Both are issued only in New Delhi.
Diploma certificate apostille in Bihar: diplomas we handle
Bihar files usually mix an SBTE diploma with an ITI certificate, so we check which board issued each one first.

Cooks and hotel staff from Bihar
Gulf hotels, labour camps, catering contractors and private households hire large numbers of cooks from Bihar. Most visas for these jobs ask for a food production or hotel management diploma.

FAQs: diploma certificate apostille and attestation in Bihar
Is a diploma certificate apostille in Bihar valid in every country?
No. A diploma certificate apostille in Bihar is valid in Hague Convention countries such as Saudi Arabia, Oman and Bahrain. For the UAE, Qatar and Kuwait you need diploma certificate attestation instead: MEA attestation plus embassy legalisation.
How do I get my diploma apostilled by the MEA if I live in Bihar?
The MEA apostille is issued only in New Delhi. From Bihar you send the original diploma by courier to an agency in Delhi such as INFINITYGRO. We get it notarised, attested by the SDM and apostilled by the MEA, then courier it back to you in Bihar.
Where do I have to go for diploma attestation from Bihar?
You do not have to go anywhere. There is no MEA apostille office in Patna. INFINITYGRO handles every stage in Delhi, and you only send and receive the documents by courier.
Which agency is reliable for diploma attestation in Bihar?
Choose an agency that gives a written quote first, explains every stage and returns your originals by tracked courier. INFINITYGRO in New Delhi works this way and has handled diploma apostille and Gulf attestation files from all districts of Bihar. Call or WhatsApp +91-8595558517 to check your diploma before sending it.
My ITI certificate is from Bihar SCVT. Can it be attested for Saudi Arabia?
Yes. Saudi Arabia is a Hague Convention member, so the ITI certificate needs the MEA apostille, through Notary and SDM New Delhi. No embassy stamp is needed.
Do I need to attest both my SBTE diploma and my ITI certificate?
Only if the employer asks for both. They are separate documents, so each gets its own stamps. Sending them in one envelope saves courier cost.
Is the process different for UAE, Qatar and Kuwait?
No. All three are non-Hague countries, so the steps are the same: Notary, SDM, MEA attestation and then that country’s embassy. Only the embassy at the last step changes.
How much does diploma certificate apostille cost?
It depends on the route, the destination country and the number of documents. See our diploma certificate apostille attestation fees page, or WhatsApp a photo of your diploma for a written quote.
