B.Ed Degree Certificate Apostille & Attestation Services in India

The apostille is a special stamp issued by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), Government of India, and is accepted in Hague Convention countries. Apostilled documents do not require embassy legalization.

There are two primary routes for apostilling a B.Ed certificate:

1. Apostille via HRD or State Higher Education Department

• Step 1: State/HRD Verification
  
  
  • The B.Ed certificate is first authenticated by the State Education Department or the HRD department in the state where the degree was issued.
    
    
• Step 2: MEA Apostille
  
  
  • Once verified by the state authority, the certificate is apostilled by the MEA.
    
    

This method is suitable for countries that require strong, centralized document verification. However, this process may take longer, depending on the university and state department workflow.

2. Apostille via Notary & SDM (Faster Method)

Many Hague Convention member countries also accept this quicker route:

• Step 1: Notary Attestation
  
  
  • The B.Ed certificate is attested by a recognized Notary Public.
    
    
• Step 2: SDM Attestation
  
  
  • It is then attested by the Sub-Divisional Magistrate (SDM), New Delhi.
    
    
• Step 3: MEA Apostille
  
  
  • Finally, the MEA provides the apostille stamp.
    
    

This route is widely accepted and much faster, often completed within 2 working days. It is ideal for teachers or job seekers with time constraints.
