Who needs a Degree Certificate Apostille?
Where it actually matters
- Suppose you have been admitted to a university in Germany or France; even before they confirm your seat, they will ask you to submit an apostille of your degree. Without it, your file will remain incomplete there.
- If you are going abroad for a job, especially in the Gulf countries, your employer will need proof that your degree is genuine and issued by a recognized institution. That proof comes through an apostille, not just a simple certified copy.
- People applying for PR in Australia or some EU countries are also stuck if their degrees are not apostilled. Immigration officers will not process your case with unverified academic papers.
- Doctors, engineers, teachers, nurses and anyone who needs to have their qualifications verified by a foreign licensing body have to go through this. No apostille means no license, simple as that.
- If you are moving to another country, even if it means changing universities during your studies, the new university will still ask for your old Degree Certificate or Transcript Certificate before admitting you.
Important Things To Know
Check Apostille Validity:
A Degree Certificate Apostille itself generally does not have an expiry date, but the receiving authority may require a recently issued or authenticated document.

Some countries may require your apostilled degree certificate to be translated into their official language by an approved or certified translator.
Keep The Original Certificate Safe:
The original degree certificate may be required throughout the authentication process and should be handled carefully.
