Are you an engineer planning to work, study, or migrate abroad? Whether your destination is the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman, Bahrain, Malaysia, or any other country, Engineering Certificate Attestation is a mandatory requirement. Employers, licensing bodies, and immigration authorities must verify your degree to confirm that it’s authentic and issued by a recognized Indian university.

This guide is written by an expert with years of experience handling engineering document attestation, ensuring the information is accurate, simple, and highly practical for applicants.

Trueway International provides complete attestation services across Kerala, Bangalore, Chennai, Delhi, Mumbai, and all over India, including pickup and delivery.

What Is Engineering Certificate Attestation?

Engineering Certificate Attestation is the legal verification of your B.Tech, BE, M.Tech, ME, Diploma in Engineering, or any specialized engineering qualification to make it valid for use in another country.

It confirms that:

• The certificate is genuine
• The university is recognized
• Your academic records match university data
• You are qualified for the engineering position you’re applying for

No GCC country or international employer will accept an engineering degree without proper attestation.

Who Needs Engineering Certificate Attestation?

Attestation is required for:

✔ Employment Abroad

Engineers applying for roles such as:

• Civil Engineer
• Mechanical Engineer
• Electrical Engineer
• Electronics & Communication Engineer
• Computer Science / IT Engineer
• Automobile Engineer
• Chemical Engineer
• Petroleum Engineer
• Aeronautical Engineer
• Biotechnology Engineer

Why GCC Countries Strictly Verify Engineering Certificates

Countries like the UAE, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Bahrain, Kuwait, and Malaysia follow verification rules because engineering roles involve safety-critical responsibilities.

Without proper attestation, you may face:

❌ Visa rejection

❌ Offer letter cancellation

❌ Licensing rejection

❌ Equivalency denial

❌ Embassy return or delay

Proper attestation prevents these issues completely.

Engineering Certificate Attestation Process (India) – Step-by-Step

The attestation flow for engineering certificates is:

HRD / SDM → MEA → Embassy → MOFA

Step 1: University / HRD Attestation

This is a crucial verification step.

HRD (Human Resource Development Department) checks your:

• Enrollment details
• Marksheet & consolidated mark list
• Year of passing
• University approval & recognition
• Authenticity of the engineering degree

HRD is mandatory for many skilled engineering jobs in the GCC.

If your state HRD is slow, an alternative is SDM attestation.

Step 2: SDM Attestation (Alternative to HRD)

SDM attestation is used when:

• HRD takes too long
• University delays responses
• Urgent attestation is required

Many GCC countries accept SDM attestation for engineering certificates.

Step 3: MEA Attestation

The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) verifies the HRD/SDM seal.

MEA attestation is required for:

• UAE
• Saudi Arabia
• Qatar
• Kuwait
• Oman
• Bahrain
• Malaysia

If the destination country is part of the Hague Convention, MEA issues an Apostille.

(GCC countries do not accept Apostille; they need full embassy attestation.)

Step 4: Embassy Attestation (All GCC Countries Included)

After MEA, your certificate must be attested by the embassy of the country you are traveling to

• UAE Embassy
• Saudi Embassy
• Qatar Embassy
• Kuwait Embassy
• Oman Embassy
• Bahrain Embassy
• Malaysian Embassy

Each embassy validates the MEA seal and confirms the engineering degree is accepted by their country.

Trueway International offers fast and smooth processing for all GCC embassy attestations, ensuring documents meet submission cut-off times and embassy rules.

Step 5: MOFA Attestation (Destination Country)

MOFA (Ministry of Foreign Affairs) is done after you reach your destination.

Required for:

• Work Visa stamping
• Engineering license
• Labor approval
• University admission
• Residency permit

Documents Required for Engineering Certificate Attestation

• Original Engineering Certificate (BE/B.Tech/ME/M.Tech)
• Passport copy
• All-year mark sheets
• Consolidated mark list
• Bonafide / Verification letter (if required)
• Offer letter (for employment)
• Passport-size photos (for Gulf countries, if needed)

Trueway verifies all documents before submission.
