What is diploma certificate apostille and attestation in Uttar Pradesh?
Uttar Pradesh has one of the largest polytechnic networks in India. Every year thousands of diploma holders from Lucknow, Kanpur, Gorakhpur, Azamgarh, Varanasi and Prayagraj leave for technician, pharmacy and hospitality jobs abroad. A foreign employer or visa office cannot check an Indian certificate directly, so the diploma must carry the stamp of the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) before it is accepted.
Apostille is a sticker issued by the MEA in New Delhi. It carries a serial number and a QR code, is fixed on the back of the original diploma, and is accepted directly in every Hague Convention country.
Attestation is used for countries that are not in the Hague Convention, including most Gulf countries. The MEA attests the diploma, and then the embassy of the country where you will use it legalises it in New Delhi.

Hotel management and cook diplomas
Many of the diploma files we handle belong to cooks and chefs. Hotels, restaurants, catering companies and households in the Gulf, Europe and East Asia hire trained cooks in large numbers and ask for a hotel management or food production diploma as proof of training.
A diploma from a recognised institute, such as an Institute of Hotel Management, a Food Craft Institute or a State board course, can be apostilled or attested like any other diploma. If yours is a short private course with no recognised body behind it, send us a photo first so we can check it before you spend anything.
Many cooks working abroad come from hill regions such as Uttarakhand, and many are Nepali citizens who trained in India. What matters is the country that issued the certificate: a diploma issued in India is apostilled or attested in India, whatever the holder’s nationality.

Why HRD attestation is rarely used for diploma certificates
HRD authentication by the State education department is built mainly for degrees and school certificates. Most diplomas are short-term courses of one or two years, or trade and vocational certificates, and the State desk usually does not accept them. That is why most diploma certificate apostille and attestation files go through the Delhi route: Notary, SDM New Delhi and then the MEA. In Uttar Pradesh the State route is handled by the Uttar Pradesh education authentication (HRD) desk.

FAQs: diploma certificate apostille and attestation in Uttar Pradesh
Is a diploma certificate apostille in Uttar Pradesh valid in every country?
No. A diploma certificate apostille in Uttar Pradesh is valid in Hague Convention countries such as Saudi Arabia, Germany and the UK. 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 Ministry of External Affairs from Uttar Pradesh?
The MEA apostille is issued only in New Delhi. Courier your original diploma to INFINITYGRO in Delhi; we complete the Notary, SDM and MEA stages and courier it back to your address in Uttar Pradesh.

Choose an agency that gives a written quote, explains each stamp and returns your originals by tracked courier. INFINITYGRO in New Delhi handles diploma apostille and attestation for every district of Uttar Pradesh. Call or WhatsApp +91-8595558517 before you send anything.
My D.Pharm is from BTEUP. Can it be apostilled for a pharmacist job abroad?
Yes. A D.Pharm awarded by BTEUP is a recognised board qualification. For a Hague country the MEA apostille completes the file; for a non-Hague country such as the UAE, Qatar or Kuwait we add MEA attestation and embassy legalisation. Send the marksheets too, because licensing bodies abroad usually ask for them.
What is the difference between diploma certificate apostille and attestation in Uttar Pradesh?
Apostille is one MEA sticker accepted in every Hague Convention country. Attestation is for countries outside the Convention: the MEA attests the diploma and then that country’s embassy in New Delhi legalises it. The destination country decides which one you need.
Is the attestation process different for each Gulf country?
No. For the UAE, Qatar, Kuwait and every other non-Hague country the steps are the same: Notary, SDM New Delhi, MEA attestation and then legalisation by that country’s embassy. Only the embassy at the last step changes. Saudi Arabia, Oman and Bahrain are Hague members, so for them the MEA apostille is enough.
I live in Noida or Ghaziabad. Can I visit your office?
Yes. Our office is in New Ashok Nagar, East Delhi, a short trip from Noida and Ghaziabad. Visiting saves the courier cost both ways. Call or WhatsApp first so the file is ready for you.
How do I send my diploma to you?
Send the original diploma and other documents to our Delhi office through a reputed courier service. We do not collect documents from your home. Once the apostille or attestation is done, we send the documents back to your address by courier. Clients in Delhi NCR can also drop documents at our office.
Why is HRD attestation usually not done for a diploma certificate?
State HRD desks mainly authenticate degrees and school certificates. Most diplomas are one or two year courses or trade certificates, and the State desk usually does not accept them. That is why diploma files normally go through Notary and SDM in New Delhi before the MEA.
Does an apostille on a diploma expire?
No. An apostille has no expiry date. Some employers ask for recently attested papers as their own policy, so check with them before redoing valid work.
How much does diploma certificate apostille cost?
It depends on the route, the destination country and the number of documents. See the stage-by-stage breakdown on our diploma certificate apostille attestation fees page, or WhatsApp a photo of your diploma for a written quote.
