MEA Apostille
Apostille Services in Surat
Apostille services in Surat helps Diamond and textile business professionals going to UAE, Belgium, or UK and others get their Indian degree, birth, marriage, and other certificates apostilled for UAE and United Kingdom and other countries. Gujarat HRD: universities put a verification stamp directly on the original certificate. This is part of the HRD process, not a separate pre-step. Confirm the format with your issuing university, Veer Narmad South Gujarat University, South Gujarat University, and other Surat-affiliated institutions may have slightly different submission formats. SiZA Global reviews Surat documents via scan first, coordinates Gujarat HRD where needed, and returns completed documents with tracked delivery, no Noida visit required.
Apostille services in Surat run through Gujarat HRD in Gandhinagar for educational documents and through the Gujarat Home Department or SDM offices for civil documents. The Chamber of Commerce route through the relevant Gujarat chamber (typically Gujarat Chamber of Commerce or SGCCI, Southern Gujarat Chamber of Commerce and Industry) runs before MEA for commercial documents from Surat-area businesses, which is a large share of the work because of the diamond, textile and chemical-trade clusters around Surat.
Surat's outbound flow is unusually heavy on commercial documentation compared to other Indian cities of its size. Diamond-trade certificates, certificates of origin, board resolutions, power of attorney documents and export documentation routinely move from Surat to Belgium (Antwerp), Israel, Hong Kong, the USA and the UAE. Educational and civil documents from Surat-area applicants follow the Gujarat HRD or SDM / Home Department route for the Gujarat-state universities (Veer Narmad South Gujarat University, Auro University, SVNIT, PDPU).

How We Review Before Pickup
Before our courier collects the original from your address, the scan goes through a quick readiness check (issuing state, name match, document condition, route correctness) so the file doesn't come back from the authority for reprocessing.
What to send first
Review the requirement
Share the document scan, destination country, purpose, deadline, and where the original document is currently kept.
Confirm the right process
SiZA checks whether the file needs apostille, embassy attestation, HRD/Home, Chamber, translation, visa documentation, or a combined process.
Handle and update
Once the scope is clear, the file moves through the required steps with practical updates by WhatsApp or email.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Gujarat HRD process?
Gujarat HRD is processed at the Gujarat Higher Education Department in Gandhinagar for educational documents from Gujarat-state universities, Gujarat University, MS University Baroda, Saurashtra, Sardar Patel, PDPU, Auro, Veer Narmad South Gujarat University, GTU-affiliated engineering colleges, Nirma, and others. University verification (GTU for GTU-affiliated colleges, equivalent for others) is required before HRD issues the authentication. Gujarat HRD's working pace is generally steadier than Maharashtra or West Bengal, files typically complete in 10-15 working days after university verification.
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.

“Czech Blue Card required apostilled degree, work experience letters, and a certified Czech translation of my degree.

The Czech embassy accepted everything first attempt.”
