The most crucial step in authenticating the authenticity of any document is to get the attestation of a certified authority. The attestation of educational certificates is carried out to authenticate the credentials by affixing an official seal issued by an accredited authority for different motives. Attestation is required for various reasons like relocating to overseas countries for work and admission to foreign universities or for other reasons overseas.
Accreditation of educational certificates is required for those who wish to enroll in international universities. It is also necessary to authenticate documents when taking an educational credential test. The principal reason behind certification is to prevent the issue of fake certificates and forgery and false representation of documents for use in foreign countries. Employers, educational institutions, and licensing authorities in other countries require education documents to ensure that the applicant is employed. Only documents that have been authenticated are recognized by authorities to authenticate the document.
The initial step to obtaining the process of attestation of your educational certificate is verification at the university. Your credentials must be verified by the registrar or the authority responsible for the university in which you received your education. Verification of university certificates shows that you've completed your studies at the university you attended. After verification by the university, academic documents are attested by the Human Resources Department [HRD] of the state you reside. The states have their HRDs to complete this attestation. The HRD attestation process is only for documents recognized by the government as educational.
