AMIE Degree Certificate Apostille & Attestation Services in India

Overview

If you possess an AMIE (Associate Member of the Institution of Engineers) Degree Certificate issued in India and plan to use it abroad for higher education, employment, visa, or immigration purposes, you must have the document apostilled or attested depending on the destination country’s requirements.

This document outlines the detailed, step-by-step procedures for the apostille or attestation of India-issued AMIE certificates, including processing timeframes, departments involved, and alternate options based on embassy specifications.

Apostille Process for AMIE Degree Certificate – India

The apostille is a simplified form of document authentication recognized by countries that are signatories of the Hague Convention of 1961. For Indian documents like an AMIE certificate, the apostille is issued by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), Government of India.

There are two commonly followed procedures to get an AMIE Degree certificate apostilled:

1. Apostille via HRD or State-Level Authentication (Longer Process)

Step 1: State-level Authentication
- Your AMIE certificate is first authenticated by the Department of Higher Education, under the Ministry of Human Resource Development (HRD) or the respective State Home Department, depending on where the certificate was issued.
Step 2: Apostille by MEA
- After authentication from the concerned state or HRD department, the document is sent to the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) for the final apostille.

This process is often used for countries with strict verification norms and can take longer due to multiple layers of verification.

2. Apostille via Notary & SDM (Faster Process)

This method is widely accepted and offers a much faster turnaround, typically within two working days.

Step 1: Notary Public Attestation
- Your AMIE certificate is notarized by a certified notary public.
Step 2: SDM Attestation
- The notarized certificate is further attested by the Sub-Divisional Magistrate (SDM), New Delhi.
Step 3: MEA Apostille
- Finally, the Ministry of External Affairs apostilles the SDM-attested certificate.

This streamlined method is ideal for most countries that accept apostilles under the Hague Convention framework.

Embassy Attestation for AMIE Degree Certificate

For countries that are not part of the Hague Convention, apostille is not sufficient. Instead, embassy or consulate attestation is mandatory. In such cases, the document must be authenticated by multiple authorities before reaching the foreign embassy.

Embassy Attestation Procedure

Step 1: State Authentication or SDM Attestation
- Depending on the destination country, either state-level HRD/Home Department authentication or SDM attestation is required.
Step 2: MEA Attestation
- Post initial authentication, the certificate is attested by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA).
Step 3: Embassy/Consulate Legalization
- Lastly, the document is attested by the embassy or consulate of the destination country located in India.

Each embassy may have its own guidelines regarding formats, fees, and turnaround time, which must be checked beforehand.

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.
