HRD Attestation

Kerala HRD Attestation for Degree Certificates

the issuing state HRD attestation is the state Higher Education Department's step that confirms a degree or diploma was issued by a recognised institution in the issuing state. This must happen before MEA apostille for Hague Convention countries like Germany, Italy, and UK, or before MEA and embassy attestation for Gulf destinations like UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Kuwait. The the issuing state process involves institution or university verification followed by state-authority authentication. SiZA Global reviews the the issuing state degree and supporting documents before advising the correct chain.

Kerala HRD attestation for degree certificates is processed at the Kerala Higher Education Department in Thiruvananthapuram and applies to documents from Kerala-state universities, University of Kerala, Mahatma Gandhi University Kottayam, Cochin University of Science and Technology (CUSAT), Kannur University, Kerala University of Health Sciences (the umbrella for most Kerala medical and nursing colleges), Kerala Agricultural University, the IITs / NITs / IIMs in Kerala (autonomous), IIST Thiruvananthapuram (autonomous), the medical colleges across the state.

Kerala HRD has a state-specific rule that catches applicants out: Kerala HRD authenticates educational documents from Class 10 (SSC) onwards, earlier school records do not go through HRD. University verification is typically required before Kerala HRD issues the authentication for most universities. Kerala's heavy outbound healthcare and nursing flow to the GCC means a high share of Kerala HRD work involves medical and nursing council registration, good standing certificates, and experience certificates running alongside the degree in the same chain.

Send a clear scan of the degree (and the issuing university, plus any council registration or good standing certificate if relevant) on WhatsApp +91-9220161774. SiZA Global coordinates the issuing-university or Kerala University of Health Sciences verification, runs the Kerala HRD step in Thiruvananthapuram, then forwards to MEA in Delhi via our Noida office, then certified Arabic translation where the destination is GCC, then tracked return. We confirm the working-day timeline and a written quote before originals move.

University verification step

Why issuing-university verification matters

State HRD will not stamp an educational document unless the issuing university has confirmed the record is genuine. We coordinate this verification step alongside the HRD submission rather than sequentially, the difference is days, sometimes weeks, on the total timeline.

Who this state HRD applies to

Students and graduates from the state institutions who need degree or diploma HRD attestation for employment, immigration, or further study abroad
Nursing, engineering, pharmacy, and other professional certificate holders from the state going to Gulf or European countries
Applicants whose MEA apostille or embassy attestation requires the state HRD as a pre-authentication step
NRIs originally from the state whose India-issued degree needs HRD processing coordinated from abroad
HR teams, placement agencies, and consultants managing HRD for multiple the state-issued educational certificates

Documents the state HRD expects

Working-pace factors for this state

University / institution verification time
Kerala HRD working pace
MEA Delhi apostille (2 to 3 working days)
Destination Embassy queue + DataFlow parallel for healthcare
Arabic translation + courier transit

Where state HRD files get returned

Sending a pre-Class-10 school record for HRD, Kerala HRD starts from Class 10
Routing through SDM instead of Kerala HRD
Submitting only the nursing degree without the council registration and good standing, GCC regulators expect the set
Running DataFlow sequentially after the attestation chain instead of parallel
Inconsistent transliteration of Malayalam names across documents
