How to get your documents apostilled/attested
Popular Methods for AMIE Certificate Attestation in India
Over the years, the following attestation practices have been widely used across India:
1. Home Department Attestation via State Mantralaya
- AMIE certificates can be authenticated from the Home Department of your state also known as Mantralaya which is recognized for processing educational documents.
- After the Mantralaya attestation, the certificate proceeds to MEA and then to the relevant embassy.
This method is time-tested, cost-efficient, and highly respected by numerous foreign embassies in India.
2. Attestation via SDM and MEA (Alternate Option)
For many countries, attestation from the Sub-Divisional Magistrate, New Delhi, followed by MEA attestation is a valid and accepted process.
This method is often preferred due to quicker processing and lesser bureaucracy compared to state-level authentication.
