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.

📍 Done by: Your university or college (in person or via post)
🕒 Time: 7–15 working days (varies by university)
2. HRD Attestation (State-Level)
