If you’re a nurse planning to work, study, or migrate to countries like the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman, Kuwait, Bahrain, UK, Canada, or Europe, attesting your nursing certificate is a mandatory requirement.

Hospitals, licensing authorities, and foreign immigration departments verify your certificate to ensure it is genuine, issued by a recognized institution, and meets the standards of international healthcare systems.

What Is Nursing Certificate Attestation?

Nursing Certificate Attestation is the official procedure of validating your academic qualification to make it legally acceptable in another country. This includes:

• ANM Attestation
• GNM Attestation
• B.Sc. Nursing Attestation
• Post BSc Nursing Attestation
• M.Sc. Nursing Attestation
• Nursing Diploma Attestation

The attestation confirms that:

• Your certificate is authentic
• Your university/board is recognized
• You’re qualified for nursing employment
• All academic details match official records

This verification is compulsory for all nursing jobs abroad, especially in GCC countries.

Nursing Certificate Attestation Process (HRD Mandatory Route)

This is the process when the embassy requires State HRD attestation for Nursing certificates.

🔶 Step 1: State HRD Sends the Certificate for University Verification

The HRD Department verifies:

• Enrollment
• Year of passing
• Mark sheets
• Institution recognition
• Registration details (for nursing councils)

This step is compulsory for many countries.

🔶 Step 2: HRD Attestation on the Original Certificate

Once verification is confirmed, the State HRD Department puts their official seal on the original nursing certificate.

🔶 Step 3: MEA Attestation – New Delhi

MEA validates the HRD seal and approves the certificate for foreign use.

🔶 Step 4: Embassy Attestation

After MEA, the document is submitted to the embassy of the destination country:

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

This is the final attestation required before travel.

Nursing Certificate Attestation Process (SDM Route – HRD Not Mandatory)

Some embassies accept SDM attestation instead of HRD.

🔶 Step 1: Notary + SDM Attestation

Document is signed by a notary and authenticated by the Sub-Divisional Magistrate in Delhi.

🔶 Step 2: MEA Attestation

MEA validates the SDM seal.

🔶 Step 3: Embassy Attestation

Final legalization at the embassy of your destination country.

This route is commonly chosen when:

• HRD processing takes too long
• University verification is delayed
• Urgent travel or overseas job joining is required
