In today’s globalized world, ensuring that your academic documents are internationally recognized is crucial. An Apostille is a form of international document verification that authenticates the origin of documents for use abroad. Arni University offers an Apostille of Documents Service to facilitate this process, ensuring that your degrees, diplomas, and other important papers are accepted worldwide. In this blog, we’ll explore the Apostille process, its importance, and how you can obtain this service through Arni University.
What is an Apostille?
An Apostille is an international certification provided under the Hague Convention of 1961, which simplifies the process of document verification between countries that are party to the Convention. It verifies the authenticity of documents such as academic certificates, making them acceptable in other member countries without the need for further authentication.
Why You Need Apostille
Apostille is required for several purposes:
- Higher Education: Many universities abroad require apostilled documents for admission.
- Employment: Employers in foreign countries may ask for apostilled academic credentials.
- Immigration: Immigration authorities often require apostilled documents for visa and residency applications.
- Professional Licensing: Certain professions require apostilled documents for certification or licensing abroad.
Steps to Obtain Apostille of Documents through Arni University
1. Prepare Your Documents
Before initiating the Apostille process, ensure you have the following documents ready:
- Original degree or diploma certificates.
- Original mark sheets.
- Photocopies of these documents.
- A valid government-issued ID (e.g., passport, Aadhar card).
2. Verification by Arni University
The Apostille process begins with the verification of your documents by Arni University. This internal verification confirms that the documents were issued by the university and are legitimate.
Steps:
- Visit the administrative office at Arni University or check their official website for the document verification process.
- Submit the original and photocopies of your documents for verification.
- Pay any verification fees as required by the university.
3. HRD Attestation
Following the university’s verification, your documents must be attested by the State Human Resource Development (HRD) department. This step authenticates the university’s verification.
Steps:
- Submit the verified documents to the HRD department.
- Fill out the HRD attestation application form and pay the necessary fees.
- The HRD department will attest the documents, which is required for Apostille.
4. MEA Attestation
Once you have HRD attested documents, the next step is to obtain attestation from the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA). MEA attestation is required before documents can be apostilled.
Steps:
- Submit the HRD attested documents to the MEA.
- Complete the MEA attestation application form and pay the applicable fees.
- The MEA will attest your documents, validating them for Apostille.
5. Apostille by the Competent Authority
With MEA attested documents, you are now ready for the final step: Apostille. This is done by the competent authority designated for Apostille in your country.
Steps:
- Submit the MEA attested documents to the designated Apostille authority.
- Follow the specific requirements of the Apostille authority, including filling out any additional forms and paying the required fees.
- The Apostille authority will then affix the Apostille stamp or certificate to your documents, making them internationally valid.
