Diploma, polytechnic and ITI certificates follow a different verification path than university degrees. We route yours correctly — Institute verification, State HRD attestation, MEA attestation, then Apostille or Embassy Attestation — so your skilled-worker visa or job offer isn't held up.
Diploma certificate attestation is the correct path for skilled and technically trained professionals — not university degree-holders.
Diploma-holders in mechanical, civil or production engineering seeking supervisor and technician roles abroad.
Diploma and ITI-trained electricians, electronics technicians and instrumentation specialists.
Fitters, welders, machinists, plumbers and other trade-certified technicians moving into skilled-labour visas.
Fresh polytechnic diploma graduates applying for technical training programs or entry-level roles overseas.
A diploma certificate — from a polytechnic, industrial training institute (ITI), or vocational board — is not a university degree, so it's verified through a technical/vocational education channel rather than a university registrar. This is especially common for engineers, technicians and skilled tradespeople applying for overseas employment.
The legalisation chain is: your issuing Board or Institute verifies the certificate, the State HRD Department (or equivalent) attests it, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) authenticates it nationally, and finally the document receives either an Apostille or Embassy Attestation depending on your destination country.
Each stage authenticates the one before it — miss a step and the next office will simply reject the document.
The issuing polytechnic, ITI or technical board confirms your diploma and mark sheets are genuine.
The state HRD (or equivalent) department endorses the certificate as issued by a recognized institute.
The Ministry of External Affairs authenticates the HRD-cleared document nationally.
Hague destinations receive an Apostille; Gulf & other non-Hague countries require Embassy Attestation.

Once HRD and MEA attestation are complete, the final step depends entirely on your destination country.
If your destination has ratified the Hague Apostille Convention, your MEA-attested diploma simply receives an Apostille sticker — accepted directly, with no embassy visit required.
For destinations outside the Hague Convention — most notably Gulf employers — the MEA-attested diploma additionally requires legalisation by that country's embassy or consulate in India.
