How is degree certificate apostille in Chhattisgarh done?
Degree certificate apostille in Chhattisgarh is the MEA's certification of a degree issued by a university in the state, making it legally acceptable in every country that has joined the Hague Apostille Convention. The certification is a computer-generated sticker, with a unique number and QR code, placed on the back of the original.
The MEA acts only on a pre-authenticated document. Chhattisgarh graduates can obtain that pre-authentication from the authorities designated by the Government of Chhattisgarh (the State HRD route) or from a Notary Public and a Sub-Divisional Magistrate in Delhi (the SDM route). Destinations outside the convention, including the UAE, Qatar and Kuwait, require MEA attestation followed by embassy legalisation.

Being clear about roles saves time for everyone. INFINITYGRO runs the Delhi end of the process: Notary, SDM, MEA and embassy.
We do not request university verification or file State HRD applications at Mantralaya. If your destination requires those, you apply to the Chhattisgarh authorities yourself, and we pick up from the MEA stage.

- MEA attestation and embassy legalisation for Gulf and non-Hague countries

FAQs on degree certificate apostille in Chhattisgarh
What processes are available for degree certificate apostille in Chhattisgarh?
There are two. In the State HRD route, a designated Government of Chhattisgarh authority authenticates the degree before the MEA apostille. In the SDM route, a Notary Public and an SDM in Delhi authenticate it before the MEA apostille. For non-Hague countries, either route ends with MEA attestation and embassy legalisation.
What is the official Chhattisgarh Higher Education / HRD portal?
The Department of Higher Education, Government of Chhattisgarh, has its official portal at highereducation.cg.gov.in. The MEA's list of State authentication authorities names the Under Secretary, Department of Higher Education, Raipur, for degrees, along with the Secretary, Technical Education, the Home (Passport) Department and the Resident Commissioner of Chhattisgarh in New Delhi. Confirm the current process before applying.
Does INFINITYGRO perform HRD attestation or university verification for Chhattisgarh degrees?
No. We deliver Notary and SDM attestation, MEA apostille, MEA attestation and embassy legalisation. If your destination requires State HRD authentication, you arrange it with the Chhattisgarh authorities, and we handle the MEA and embassy stages afterwards.
Where is your office, and can I visit instead of using courier?
Our office is at C-5 A/2 New Ashok Nagar, Delhi 110096, open Monday to Saturday from 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM. You are welcome to visit with your originals. Applicants in Chhattisgarh can courier their documents instead, and we return them by tracked courier.
How should I courier my degree from Raipur, Bilaspur or Korba?
Ask us on WhatsApp for the checklist. Pack unlaminated originals flat between card sheets, add your passport copy and signed authorisation letter, send them by tracked courier or Speed Post, and share the consignment number so we can monitor delivery.
Which route is better for a CSVTU engineering graduate from Bhilai?
For study or skilled migration to Hague member countries such as Germany, Canada or Australia, the SDM route is usually quicker. Engineers joining Gulf employers, especially in the UAE, Qatar or Kuwait, should check whether State HRD authentication is mandatory before choosing.
Can graduates in Jagdalpur or Ambikapur complete the process without travelling?
Yes. The SDM route can be completed entirely by courier, so applicants in Bastar, Surguja or any other district do not need to visit Nava Raipur or Delhi. Share your deadline early so courier transit time can be planned.
Is an apostille accepted in Saudi Arabia and the UAE for Chhattisgarh degrees?
Saudi Arabia, like Bahrain and Oman, is a Hague Convention member, so an MEA apostille is generally accepted; its membership began on 7 December 2022. The UAE, Qatar and Kuwait are not members, so degrees going there need MEA attestation plus embassy legalisation. Sponsors may add further conditions.
How much does degree certificate apostille in Chhattisgarh cost?
The cost varies with your route, destination, the need for embassy legalisation, the number of documents and your submission method. Visit our degree certificate apostille and attestation fees page for the full structure, or WhatsApp +91-8595558517 for an itemised quote.
My degree was issued before Chhattisgarh was formed in 2000. Which state authenticates it?
Degrees from institutions such as Pt. Ravishankar Shukla University or Guru Ghasidas University that were issued before November 2000 were awarded when the area was part of Madhya Pradesh. Check with the Chhattisgarh Department of Higher Education which authority now handles such records before applying through the State HRD route. The SDM route is unaffected.
