Who Needs This

One Document.

Many Critical Use Cases

An India degree certificate is one of the most consistently required documents across employment, immigration, professional licensing, and education workflows for NRIs and Indians living abroad.

Employment & Work Visa

An employer or visa authority may request a degree, transcript or direct university verification. Confirm the precise document and delivery method it requires before ordering.

Permanent Residency Applications

Qualification assessment and residency applications may require a particular academic record or direct institutional submission. A degree copy, transcript and verification response are different outputs and are not automatically interchangeable.

Professional Licensing

The relevant licensing body determines the educational evidence and any authentication it requires. We assess the university’s available records and permitted route for that request.

Institution-Specific Verification

Some recipients require verification sent directly by the university or through an approved electronic channel. We confirm whether the institution supports the required format and who must submit the request.

Further Education Abroad

An admissions office may require transcripts, a degree certificate or direct confirmation from the institution. Confirm its rules on sealed envelopes, electronic transmission and translation.

Attestation and Apostille

Ask the receiving institution which document, translation, authentication or apostille it requires. These are separate steps and do not guarantee acceptance. For eligible India-issued documents, any Indian authentication route is assessed against current Ministry of External Affairs requirements and quoted separately. Japan MOFA does not apostille India-issued documents.

The Process

Eight Steps. Fully Managed.

Step 01

Intake and University Verification

India Field Operations

Step 05

HRD Attestation (if required)

If HRD attestation from the relevant state Higher Education Department is required for your case, LexBridge8 coordinates this step as part of the workflow prior to MEA apostille if applicable. Please indicate at intake whether attestation is required.

Step 06

For a renamed, merged or closed institution, we assess whether an authorized successor or archive holds the records. Retrieval is not guaranteed. If the requested output is unavailable, ask the recipient whether it accepts an alternative; we do not substitute another document without agreement.
