What is HRD Attestation?
HRD Attestation (Human Resource Development Attestation) is a process through which educational documents are authenticated by the respective State Education Department where the certificate was issued.
-
The attestation must be done from the same state where the educational institution is located.
For example:
-
If you passed your 10th standard from Kerala, you must get it attested from the Kerala HRD Department.

If you completed your degree from Bangalore, the attestation must be done through the Karnataka HRD Department.
This process confirms the authenticity of your educational qualification and is usually a mandatory step before MEA and Embassy attestation for purposes such as foreign employment, student visas, or higher studies abroad.
