MEA Apostille
Apostille Services in Chandigarh
Apostille services in Chandigarh helps IT and healthcare professionals going to Canada, UK, or Germany and others get their Indian degree, birth, marriage, and other certificates apostilled for Canada and United Kingdom and other countries. Chandigarh is the HRD processing hub for both Punjab and Haryana. Applicants from either state route their educational documents through Chandigarh. Punjab HRD typically takes 10-45 days; Haryana HRD typically takes 10-20 days. The timeline depends on the issuing university and document load. SiZA Global reviews Chandigarh documents via scan first, coordinates Punjab and Haryana HRD where needed, and returns completed documents with tracked delivery, no Noida visit required.
Apostille services in Chandigarh run through the Chandigarh administration (a Union Territory with its own administrative chain) for civil documents and through Punjab HRD or Haryana HRD for educational documents depending on the issuing university. For Punjab University-affiliated colleges in Chandigarh, Punjab HRD applies; for Kurukshetra and other Haryana-state universities, Haryana HRD applies; for PGIMER (Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research), the route is run through PGIMER's own verification process alongside the relevant State HRD.
Chandigarh's outbound flow is dominated by the Punjab diaspora to Canada (the single largest source-region for Indian PR in Canada by some measures), the UK (Skilled Worker and family routes), Australia (skilled migration and Family Stream), and Italy / Spain / Portugal for select skilled and family categories. Healthcare and nursing professionals from PGIMER, Government Medical College Chandigarh, and the regional medical and nursing institutions head most commonly to the UK NMC, Canadian provincial regulators, and the GCC.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which HRD applies, Punjab or Haryana?
It depends on the issuing university, not the applicant's current residence or city. Documents from Punjab-state universities (Punjab University Chandigarh, Punjabi University Patiala, GNDU Amritsar, LPU, Thapar Institute, Chitkara) go through Punjab HRD in Chandigarh. Documents from Haryana-state universities (MDU Rohtak, GJU Hisar, Kurukshetra University, Pt. BD Sharma University) go through Haryana HRD in Panchkula. Chandigarh itself is a UT and is administratively shared, Punjab University Chandigarh is associated with Punjab for HRD purposes. SiZA Global confirms the correct route at scan review based on the issuing university.
Can SiZA pick up from Chandigarh?
Yes. Pickup from any Chandigarh, Mohali, or Panchkula postcode. Punjab HRD and Haryana HRD are both based around Chandigarh; SiZA coordinates the correct one based on the issuing university (Punjab HRD in Chandigarh for Punjab-state universities; Haryana HRD in Panchkula for Haryana-state). Then MEA Delhi via Noida, then translation where required, then tracked return.
What is an apostille?
An apostille is a single official stamp issued by India's Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) on the back of an Indian document. Once placed, the document is accepted in any country that is a member of the 1961 Hague Apostille Convention, about 125 countries today, including the USA, UK, Italy, Germany, France, Saudi Arabia (since 2022), and Canada (since 2024). For non-Hague destinations such as UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Libya, and Egypt, MEA apostille alone is not enough, the document needs MEA attestation plus the destination country's embassy attestation in India.

“Degree HRD from Maharashtra, then MEA apostille, then Qatar embassy attestation — a long chain. SiZA tracked every step and gave me realistic timelines for Maharashtra HRD before starting. All documents delivered before my Qatar joining date. I had no idea the process was this manageable with the right support.”
Arjun Mehta
Civil engineer, Qatar employment visa
Nagpur, India
“My UK university needed apostilled degree and marksheets. SiZA picked up documents from Chandigarh through their courier pickup process. Everything came back apostilled and on time. They also reviewed my checklist and confirmed I didn't need Punjab HRD for this particular submission — saved me extra time.”

“Czech Blue Card required apostilled degree, work experience letters, and a certified Czech translation of my degree. SiZA arranged the Maharashtra HRD first — which they told me upfront is required for degrees from Pune University — then MEA apostille, then the Czech translation. The Czech embassy accepted everything first attempt.”
Kiran Bhatt
Software engineer, Czech Blue Card
Pune, India
“AHPRA skills assessment required apostilled pharmacy degree and internship certificate. I was confused about whether Tamil Nadu HRD attestation was needed first. SiZA clarified it clearly — TN HRD is required before MEA for degree apostille. They handled both steps. My documents reached AHPRA exactly as required.”
