Degree Certificate Apostille in Uttar Pradesh – Fast, Reliable and Fully Tracked
Degree certificate apostille in Uttar Pradesh is the process of getting a degree issued by a Uttar Pradesh university certified by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), so it is legally accepted in Hague Apostille Convention countries. The MEA places a numbered sticker with a QR code on the back of your original, and INFINITYGRO completes every Delhi-side stage: Notary, SDM, MEA and embassy.
Applicants in Noida, Ghaziabad and Meerut can reach our Delhi office within an hour, while those in Lucknow, Kanpur, Varanasi and Gorakhpur send documents by tracked courier.

How does degree certificate apostille in Uttar Pradesh work?
- Pre-authentication. Your degree is authenticated either by the designated Government of Uttar Pradesh authority (the HRD route) or by a Notary Public and a Sub-Divisional Magistrate in Delhi (the SDM route).
- MEA apostille. The Ministry of External Affairs affixes the apostille sticker, which is valid in every Hague Convention member country.
- Embassy legalisation, if needed. For the UAE, Qatar and Kuwait, MEA attestation is followed by legalisation at that country's embassy in New Delhi.
Uttar Pradesh has more universities and more graduates than any other state, and a legalised degree is the first step for most of them when they move abroad. The route you need is decided by the university, employer, consulate or licensing council receiving your degree, so get their requirement in writing first.

Where the apostille is enough
Saudi Arabia joined the convention with effect from 7 December 2022, and Oman and Bahrain are longer-standing members, so an MEA apostille normally satisfies employers in all three. Individual companies and councils may still publish their own checklists.
Where embassy legalisation applies
The UAE, Qatar and Kuwait remain outside the convention. Degrees for jobs there need MEA attestation followed by legalisation at that country's embassy in New Delhi. Gulf sponsors frequently require State authentication on educational documents, so read the visa checklist before selecting a route.

Yes. Central universities such as Aligarh Muslim University, Banaras Hindu University and the University of Allahabad follow the same two routes. Only the issuing institution's own verification procedure differs.
Do you handle university verification or Lucknow attestation?
No. We provide Notary and SDM attestation, MEA apostille, MEA attestation and embassy legalisation. University verification and State authentication are arranged by the degree holder when a destination requires them.
