MEA Apostille
Apostille Services in Visakhapatnam
Apostille services in Visakhapatnam helps IT, pharma, and port industry professionals going to USA, UK, or Gulf and others get their Indian degree, birth, marriage, and other certificates apostilled for UAE and Saudi Arabia and other countries. Andhra Pradesh HRD requires degree, consolidated memo, marksheets, and identity proof together. Visakhapatnam institutions including Andhra University, GITAM, JNTU-K, and MVGR are AP-affiliated. The AP HRD process follows the Andhra Pradesh chain even for applicants who currently live in Hyderabad. SiZA Global reviews Visakhapatnam documents via scan first, coordinates Andhra Pradesh HRD where needed, and returns completed documents with tracked delivery, no Noida visit required.
Apostille services in Visakhapatnam run through Andhra Pradesh HRD for educational documents from AP-state universities (Andhra University being the main Visakhapatnam-area university, plus the medical and engineering colleges) and through the AP Home Department or SDM offices for civil documents. The 2014 state bifurcation created two HRDs (AP HRD for documents from Andhra-state universities, Telangana HRD for documents from Telangana-state universities) and the correct route is decided by the issuing university's state at the time of the degree.
Visakhapatnam's outbound flow is dominated by the maritime, oil-and-gas, and steel-industry workforce (HPCL, RINL, Indian Navy adjacent communities) heading to the GCC (Saudi, UAE, Kuwait, Qatar) and to the USA for engineering management roles. Healthcare and nursing professionals from Andhra Medical College, King George Hospital, and the regional nursing colleges head to UK NMC, GCC MOH-equivalents, and US ECFMG.

Frequently Asked Questions
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. 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

“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.”
