Information for students who obtain their Degree/Diploma in Azerbaijan

India has become a signatory to the "Hague Convention" on Apostille.

Consequently, the earlier system of legalization and attestation/legalization of Diplomas by Missions has been dispensed with. Respective countries could straight away accept Apostilled documents. The Azerbaijan authorities have instituted the process of Apostille. The
Mission is no longer attesting "Apostilled" documents. Mission does not attest any documents pertaining to the application for screening test of the National Board of Examinations for registration with the MCI/NBE.

It is mandatory for all documents pertaining to educational qualification to be Apostilled in India. (Class X & XII Board Certificates/Bachelors Degree/Masters Degree etc.).
