When pursuing opportunities abroad—whether for higher education, employment, professional licensing, or immigration—students and alumni of Annamalai University are often required to provide attested academic documents. Attestation ensures that a degree, transcript, or certificate issued by the university is officially verified and recognized by foreign institutions, government bodies, and employers.
However, obtaining attestation directly from Annamalai University can be a lengthy process involving multiple steps of verification. This is where FACTS Transcripts provides unmatched assistance, helping applicants navigate the attestation process smoothly and securely.
What is Attestation of Academic Documents?
Attestation is the process of verifying the authenticity of academic records such as:
-
Degree Certificates
-
Transcripts/Mark Sheets
-
Provisional Certificates
-
Migration Certificates
-
Medium of Instruction (MOI) Letters
The attestation is performed by authorized officials at the university and may further require endorsement from government departments such as:
-
HRD (Human Resource Development) Department
-
MEA (Ministry of External Affairs)
-
Embassies or Consulates of the destination country
Only after completing these steps are the documents considered valid for international use.
Why Attestation is Required
Foreign institutions and organizations demand attested documents for several reasons:
-
For Higher Education Abroad – Universities require verified transcripts and degrees to process admissions.
-
For Employment Overseas – Employers insist on authenticated documents to ensure candidates’ qualifications are genuine.
-
For Immigration – Attestation is often mandatory during visa and immigration procedures.
-
For Professional Licensing – Regulatory boards in healthcare, engineering, teaching, and other fields require attested certificates before granting licenses.
Attestation Process at Annamalai University
The general steps involved in attestation are:
-
Submission of Application: A formal request must be submitted to the Controller of Examinations or Registrar.
-
Document Verification: University officials verify mark sheets, degrees, and supporting IDs.
-
Authentication Stamp/Seal: The university endorses the documents with official seals and signatures.
-
Higher-Level Authentication: In many cases, additional attestation is required from HRD, MEA, and foreign embassies.
-
Delivery of Attested Documents: Once all levels of attestation are complete, the documents are ready for international use.
