A degree certificate going to Kuwait is an embassy attestation case, not an apostille case, Kuwait is not a Hague Apostille Convention member. The order is State HRD at the issuing state, MEA attestation in Delhi, and Kuwait Embassy attestation in New Delhi. One critical practical point that applicants miss: Kuwait Embassy in New Delhi is the only Kuwait diplomatic mission in India that handles document attestation. The Kuwait Consulate in Mumbai does not provide attestation services. So the Kuwait Embassy step on degree certificates happens through Delhi regardless of which state issued the degree.
Start with an embassy-route scan
Kuwait Embassy attestation routinely expects educational documents to be handled in pairs: the final degree and the transcript / consolidated marksheet together. Submitting only the degree is one of the most common reasons the Kuwait Embassy returns the set for completion. Some healthcare and trade-specific routes additionally require the experience certificate and the original employer letter to move through the same sequence so that the Kuwait Ministry of Health, the Kuwait Civil Service Commission, or the Kuwait employer can see the full credential picture in one set. Visa stamping is a separate post-attestation step run through the Kuwait Embassy and is not included in the attestation steps itself.
The government check before MEA step on the degree is State HRD, not SDM. Maharashtra Mantralaya, Karnataka HRD, Tamil Nadu, Telangana, Kerala, UP HRD at Lucknow, Punjab, Delhi, Gujarat, Rajasthan and others each have their own university-verification rules and working pace (8 to 45 working days). Once HRD is complete, MEA attestation runs in 2 to 4 working days, then the Kuwait Embassy attestation step is added in Delhi. Total India-side steps is usually 12 to 20 working days depending on the issuing state, with Maharashtra and personal-appearance states (Rajasthan, J&K, Himachal) running longer.
Arabic translation is commonly required by Kuwait employers, the Ministry of Health (for healthcare applications), and the Civil Service Commission, prepared after the full attestation steps.

Frequently Asked Questions
What documents are required?
The exact list depends on the file. For a degree apostille, the original degree certificate is the core document, with transcripts / consolidated marksheets, passport copy, and the destination authority's checklist as supporting. For a birth certificate apostille, the original municipal-corporation-issued certificate plus identity proof. For a marriage certificate apostille, the original registered civil certificate (Sub-Registrar / Marriage Registrar issued, not just religious ceremony). SiZA Global reviews the specific file scans on WhatsApp and confirms the exact document set required before originals move.
How long does the process take?
End-to-end timelines depend on the issuing state, university verification, document type, destination country and translation requirement. MEA apostille itself takes 2 to 4 working days, or 24 hours on urgent processing if the next day is a working day. State HRD timings vary by state, for example Maharashtra takes 25 to 35 working days, Gujarat takes 10 to 30 working days, Telangana and Andhra Pradesh take 10 to 15 working days, and Kerala takes 20 to 30 working days. For non-Hague countries, embassy and MOFA steps are added separately.
Do originals need to be submitted?
Yes. HRD, SDM, Home Department, MEA apostille, and embassy attestation are all physical-stamping processes on the original document. A scan is enough for the initial review on WhatsApp; the original is then couriered to SiZA Global (or we arrange doorstep pickup in major Indian cities) for the authority steps. The original is returned by AWB-tracked courier after completion. NRIs whose originals are with family in India can coordinate the whole process remotely, the originals never leave India for the apostille step.
What is embassy attestation?
Embassy attestation is the India-side legalisation route for countries that are NOT members of the Hague Apostille Convention, UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Libya, Egypt, and a smaller set of others. The Indian document goes through state-level authentication (SDM, HRD, Home Department, or Chamber of Commerce depending on document type), then MEA attestation, then attestation at the destination country's embassy or consulate in India. UAE MOFA attestation now also happens in India alongside the UAE Embassy step.
