How to Attest Your Degree Certificate from the Saudi Embassy in India (2025 Guide)

How to Attest Your Degree Certificate from the Saudi Embassy in India (2025 Guide)

Published at: 5/14/2025

Planning to work or study in Saudi Arabia in 2025? If your dream job or academic opportunity is waiting in the Kingdom, there's one crucial step you can’t skip—attesting your degree certificate from the Saudi Embassy in India.


This attestation validates that your educational qualifications are genuine and recognized by both Indian and Saudi authorities. Whether you're a doctor, nurse, engineer, teacher, or IT professional, this process is mandatory for employment visa approval, university admission, or professional licensing in Saudi Arabia.


At Trueway International, with branches in Kerala (Kochi, Trivandrum, Calicut), Chennai, Bangalore, Mumbai, and Delhi, we offer end-to-end Saudi Embassy attestation services across India. Let’s walk you through the updated procedure in 2025, documents required, and everything you need to know.


What Is Saudi Embassy Attestation for Degree Certificates?


Saudi Embassy attestation is an official verification process that authenticates your degree certificate issued in India. The goal is to prove that:


  • Your degree is issued by a genuine and UGC-approved institution
  • Your document is not fake or altered
  • You're eligible to use it for employment, higher education, or professional purposes in Saudi Arabia


Without this attestation, your degree won’t be recognized in Saudi Arabia—even if it’s from a top-ranked university.


Who Needs Degree Certificate Attestation for Saudi?


This attestation is mandatory for:


  • Individuals applying for a Saudi work/employment visa
  • Doctors, nurses, and engineers needing professional licensing in Saudi
  • Students pursuing postgraduate studies in the Kingdom
  • Applicants under family/spouse visas where education is a factor
  • Professionals switching jobs within Saudi Arabia


If you fall under any of these categories, your degree certificate must be attested through the official process.


✅ Step-by-Step Process for Saudi Degree Attestation in India (2025)


The attestation process involves multiple stages—from university verification to Saudi Embassy stamping. Below is the complete step-by-step breakdown:


1. University Verification (Pre-Attestation)


Start by verifying your degree from the issuing university. This step is essential to confirm that your certificate is authentic and not counterfeit.


📍 Done by: Your university or college (in person or via post)

🕒 Time: 7–15 working days (varies by university)


2. HRD Attestation (State-Level)


Next, your degree must be authenticated by the Human Resource Department (HRD) of the respective state government.


📍 Example: If your degree is from a Kerala university, get HRD attestation from Kerala State HRD


🕒 Time: 7–10 working days

✅ Required for all Saudi attestation applicants


3. MEA Attestation (Central Govt.)


After state HRD attestation, your certificate is forwarded to the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), Government of India.


📍 Location: New Delhi (handled via authorized outsourcing centers)

🕒 Time: 1–2 working days


4. Saudi Cultural Attaché Attestation


This unique step is required only for Saudi Arabia. The Saudi Cultural Attaché office in New Delhi reviews:


  • University recognition and validity
  • Course details and transcripts
  • Relevance to the job you're applying for
  • Offer letter (in some cases)


📍 Location: Saudi Cultural Attaché, Chanakyapuri, New Delhi

🕒 Time: 7–10 working days


5. Saudi Embassy Attestation (Final Step)


The last step is attestation by the Royal Embassy of Saudi Arabia in India. This stamp confirms your degree is legally verified and acceptable in the Kingdom.


📍 Location: Saudi Embassy, New Delhi

🕒 Time: 2–3 working days


📃 Documents Required for Saudi Degree Attestation in 2025


Make sure you have the following documents:


  • Original degree certificate
  • All semester/year mark sheets
  • Passport copy of the applicant
  • University verification letter (if applicable)
  • Job offer letter from Saudi Arabia (for professionals)
  • Authorization letter (if attestation is done through Trueway)


Optional: Aadhar card, visa copy, resume (if requested by embassy)


🕒 How Long Does the Entire Process Take?


The full Saudi degree attestation process in 2025 typically takes:


  • Normal Processing: 20–30 working days
  • Fast Track / Express: 10–15 working days (subject to eligibility)


Delays can occur due to public holidays, slow university responses, or errors in documentation. Using a trusted agency like Trueway International ensures faster, error-free service.


💸 What Is the Cost of Saudi Degree Attestation?


The cost depends on:


  • The state where your degree was issued
  • Type of university (public/private)
  • Whether university verification is already completed
  • Attestation urgency (normal or express)
