MBBS Degree Certificate Apostille and Attestation
Apostille and embassy attestation for MBBS degrees, internship completion certificates and medical council registration, for doctors applying for licences and jobs abroad.
MBBS degree certificate apostille: quick answer
MBBS degree certificate apostille is the stamp the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) puts on your Indian MBBS degree so that it is accepted in Hague Convention countries. On our route the MBBS degree is notarised in New Delhi, verified by the SDM office and then apostilled by the MEA, which charges a government fee of ₹50 per document.
Going to the UAE, Qatar, Kuwait or another country outside the Hague Convention? Then you need MBBS degree certificate attestation instead: the same notary and SDM steps, MEA attestation, and legalisation by that country's embassy in New Delhi.
We arrange MBBS certificate apostille from start to finish by courier, for clients in every State. Share a photo of the MBBS degree on WhatsApp with the country name, and we confirm the route and price in writing.
Why doctors apostille or attest the MBBS degree
Medical licensing abroad is strict. Before a doctor can practise, the health authority checks the MBBS degree, the compulsory internship and the registration with the National Medical Commission or a State medical council. The hospital's visa process then checks the degree again.
For the UAE, Qatar and Kuwait the MBBS degree needs MEA attestation and embassy legalisation. Saudi Arabia, Oman and European Hague countries accept the MEA apostille. Some regulators, such as the UK GMC, verify qualifications through their own online systems instead of asking for an apostille.

Tips before sending your MBBS degree
- Check whether your regulator uses its own verification (for example the UK GMC); you may not need an apostille there.
- Gulf licensing usually needs attestation plus a separate primary-source verification.
- If your MBBS is from abroad, it is not legalised by the Indian MEA; it must be legalised in the country that issued it.

FAQs: MBBS degree certificate apostille and attestation
How do I get my MBBS degree apostilled by the Ministry of External Affairs?
First the original MBBS degree is attested by a notary in New Delhi. The SDM office in New Delhi then verifies the notary, and the MEA fixes the apostille sticker on the back. You can courier the original to us; we complete all three steps and courier it back.
What are the charges for MBBS degree certificate apostille?
The MEA charges a government fee of ₹50 per document for an apostille. Our service charge for MBBS degree certificate apostille is usually ₹1,000–₹1,500 per document, and courier is extra. Embassy attestation for the UAE, Qatar, Kuwait and other countries costs more and is quoted per country. You always get a written quote first.
Does the UK GMC need an apostilled MBBS degree?
Usually not. The GMC verifies primary medical qualifications through its own online process. Apostille is needed when a regulator or employer specifically asks for it.
What documents are required for MBBS degree certificate attestation?
The original MBBS degree, a clear copy of your passport (photo and address pages), and a signed authorisation letter that we send you. Tell us the destination country and purpose, because the route depends on it.
What is the process for MBBS degree certificate attestation for the UAE, Qatar or Kuwait?
For these non-Hague countries the MBBS degree is notarised and verified by the SDM in New Delhi, attested by the MEA, and then legalised by the embassy of the destination country. For the UAE, the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs adds a final stamp inside the UAE.
What does an MBBS degree need for a job in Qatar?
Qatar is non-Hague, so the degree needs MEA attestation and Qatar embassy legalisation. The licensing authority also runs its own credential verification.
How long does MBBS degree certificate apostille take?
The time depends on the queues at the SDM office, the MEA and, for attestation, the embassy. We confirm an expected completion date in your written quote and update you on WhatsApp at every stage. Embassy attestation takes longer than an apostille.
Apostille or attestation: which one does my MBBS degree need?
Look at the destination. If it is a Hague Convention member (for example Saudi Arabia, Oman, Italy, Germany, Japan or Australia), the apostille is enough. If it is the UAE, Qatar, Kuwait or China, the MBBS degree needs attestation and the embassy stamp.
Can my NMC or State medical council registration be apostilled?
Yes. The registration certificate can be apostilled or attested along with the MBBS degree.
