HRD Attestation/Authentication Fom HARYANA
If you have done your education from HARYANA then you need to get the HRD Attestation from the below Address
Shiksha Sadan, Sec-5 Panchkula, First Floor Chandigarh.
Benchmark : opposite BP petrol Pump
Requirements
A) Application Form and Affidavit
B) Passport Size Photo
C) Rs 50 Postal order for each Certificate/degree
D) Attested Copy of Passport
E) 2 Attested Copies of each of Certificate/degree to be authenticated
F) 1 Attested Copy of Final Year Marksheet
G) Copy of Job Offer letter (if any)
Please make a visit to this place before you start with the process of HRD Attestation because the requirements keep on changing
so better make sure what you require to submit.
Application Form -- You can get it from shiksha sadan
Affidavit -- They provide the format
Postal Order -- Purchase it from Post office, nearest one is Sec-4 Market Post office, make sure Postal Order has a stamp on it (when you purchase please check)
Document Attestation and Affidavit -- You can get if from Notary, nearest one is Sec-1, panchkula. Purchase a RS 10 Stamp paper from there and get the affidavit typed on it, catch some advocate there (you can find a lot at notary) and get copy of your documents attested (if not attested earlier) and don't forget to get your affidavit attested from the advocate or someone who
has the authority.
Then come back to Shiksha Sadan, first floor (I don't remember the department name, check with some one there) with all the documents and submit there.
Once all your documents are ok, there starts your real journey to these Government Departments.
After this they will issue a letter addressed to your University (or from where you have done your Education or the department written on your Certificate which you want to get authenticated), they will say that they will send that letter to your university and wait for your verification report from University, once verification report comes, you can get HRD authentication on your certificate/degree.
Sending a letter to university and then getting a Verification Report from University is a very long process, it may takes months or few days or it never comes because you know how these departments work.
So I Suggest you to ask them to give you that letter addressed to your university and personally go to your university and get your Verification Report. Make sure the verification report which you get from your University is addressed and properly sealed in an Envelope (If not sealed then it will not be accepted by Shiksha Sadan)
Once you submit the Verification Report, you can get the HRD Attestation on your Original Certificate.
Hope it Helps.

This is really helpful GAURAV but i red this after going through all this hassles. It was really disturbing. God knows how these departments work.
One more thing i want to share here about this Shiksha Sadan. Actually there are 2 Shiksha Sadan offices in same area. One is in Sector-2 and other the real one is in Sector-5 next to CBSE office. Sector-2 office full name is "takniki shiksha sadan". This "takniki shiksha sadan" is not the real one from where you have to get your certificates attested. I by mistake went there and people over there done complete process and get my certificate attested by Mr. K.P. Singh(Deputy director- Technical). They took all my educational certificates attested photocopies along with job offer letter and put their attestation stamp on back of my B.E. certificate .
They all are bunch of lousy government officials. They know nothing. When i went back for ministry of external affairs(MEA) attestation in Delhi they said this attestation from K.P. Singh is not valid (some Mr. Kalia is authorized person for this) and they don't have his signature verification with them. I got completed blank. After around one day search on Google and making around 100 calls to different phone numbers(non of them working) one person picked up the phone and that too the real person(Mr. Kalia). He told me everything about the process and that too in very polite manner.
Next day i went there and done all these formalities:
A) Application Form and Affidavit
B) Passport Size Photo
C) Rs 50 Postal order for each Certificate/degree
D) Attested Copy of Passport
E) 2 Attested Copies of each of Certificate/degree to be authenticated
F) 1 Attested Copy of Final Year Marksheet
G) Copy of Job Offer letter (if any)
Now i have still not visited my university(MDU) because of some on-going employees strike over there. Still to go and lets see what will happen as i have already wasted my one important month.
Also please be aware of Touts who will follow you the moment you enter in MEA department in Delhi. If you don't have any idea of all this then i would suggest you to give this responsibility to some genuine agency but i would suggest you to do this HRD attestation from Panchkula your-self as its a very lengthy process and if you put everything on government official then it will take may be more then one month.
Will tell you more once i complete all formalities.

Ok, after reaching MDU you need to directly go to the MDU university and ask anybody about the certificate attestation department. Its better if you know somebodt there otherwise you know verywell how these people works. By luck i knew one person there and he helped me in completing all the formalities there. Had he been not there then i knew i have to stay there for one day. So plan accordingly. Remeber one thing when you get you letter stamped from the MDU then ask them to put it in envelope and seal it because if seal it not there then the people in Panchukla may not accept it and if possible then keep print out of the stamped letter for you future use.
After taking this letter from MDU reach the PAnchukla office in the morning itself so that all formalities can be completed within day itself. They may tell you to come tommorow but if you request them and tell them that you are coming far way then they might give the certificate same day. If everything goes fine then you need to rush the MEA department in DELHI - PATALIA HOUSE near India Gate. Reach there in the morning exactly at 9 am. Timings are 9 to 12 and then in evening 4-6pm. There is long line even if you reach early in the morning and evening. So plan accordingly. Take 2 photocopy of the attested certificate along with you.
Once MEA certification done then comes your respective Culture attestation as they from countries embassies.
Saudi Embassy office is in Vasant Kunj, just check on Google the exact address becauee i don't remeber it now. Here also you will face same problem, nobody will talk to you in polite manner. They have internal corruption where they have assigned different touts to work for your Culture attestation. You cannot do it yourself. I tried a lot but all in vane. So fianlly i have to hire one tout for my Embassy attestation. Before you hire just check the rate by calling all the authorised touts. There are some who are really genuinen. My embassy attestion cost to me only Rs.900. Some were asknig as high as Rs.2000. So just check. All these touts have there Embassy certified Identification cards thats why embassy people allow only these guys to enter their premises. Remeber to give your certificates to them on monday of Tuesday because embassy accept these certificates only on these days and return back only on Fridays. So keep in Mind.
If you are lucky then you will get your country attestation after one week otherwise max. 2-3 weeks. If this is done then all work from your side is OVER. Now comes the turn of your placement consultant to get your Passport VISA. Inform them about it. I get my visa after one Month from some Mumbai company.
Once you get your VISA in your hand then start packing your BAGS. :)
Ufff ek job ke liye itna Maarmaari.. But this is only one time activity guys so chilll.

What Gaurav has quoted is correct. I would like to share my experience as well. I was in urgent need of attestation, so I pursued it accordingly. I brought along my friend Praveen, who also needed the same service. When I handed over all my documents, they informed me that I would receive the attested degree through courier. However, I requested them and explained the situation.
Then, I witnessed a scenario straight out of a comedy show or even worse, a satire. It seemed like they were exploiting my urgency to make money, using the office boy for their benefit. Mr. Kalia played an active role in this whole scheme. Despite my persistent efforts, they only faxed the degree to MDU after my insistence. They mentioned that they would approve it upon receiving verification either through courier or fax.
By 5 o'clock in the evening, we had not received any confirmation. I decided to visit MDU and left my friend in Panchkula. The same story repeated there. Upon inquiry, the concerned person claimed not to have received anything. I asked my friend to fax me the fax report, which revealed the person was lying. After rigorous follow-up, at 4 o'clock, I managed to get it verified and sent the report back myself via fax.
However, the HRD refused to accept the faxed report and insisted on a sealed one through courier. To get it done, I had to pay 2000 to the office boy for each document. Finally, MEA is the best office where the work is straightforward and simple, without the need for assistance from middlemen.

Can anybody tell me about the process regarding MDU? This means that after receiving the letter from Shiksha Sadan, I have to go to MDU and collect the stamped letter in a sealed envelope.
So, please inform me which department I need to visit, on which floor it is located, and which gate I should enter from.
Please help.

I told them that it is clearly mentioned on this application that the envelope should be sealed. But they said no, and I returned home without sealing the envelope. The next working day, I have to go to Chandigarh, but I cannot say whether they will accept my letter or not because it is sealed.
The main issue is with MDU. I think they don't have any problem completing my work if I offer a "bribe" or under-the-table money. Because I didn't give any money to these individuals, they didn't complete my work. So, I request all of you not to give them any bribes. If they ask for it, make a video and then circulate it on the internet.

Subject: HRD Attestation of Degree from Haryana.
This site helped me in getting the basic info about how to start and where to go for attestation. I went last week to Panchkula for this, and I would like to share the info.
Docs required: 2 copies of your final degree, final year mark sheet, 1 photo, passport copy, copy of job offer letter, and Rs 50 postal order per certificate. Better if you take the postal order with you before you reach there; else, you need to go to Sector 4 post office to get it which is 2 km from Sector 5.
From Delhi, I started at 6.30 and reached Zirakpur at 11.30. Then boarded the city bus which dropped me at Sector 5 bus stop, and then I hired a rickshaw for Rs 30 which took me to Shikha Sadan Sector 5. After reaching the 1st floor at 12.15, I asked them for the HRD procedure, and they told me to get the postal order first as the post office doesn't give those postal orders after 1 pm. So, I rushed again to the nearest post office, which is in Sector 4, and then came back to Shiksha Sadan at 12.50.
I filled up the form, attached all the mentioned docs attested by self, and submitted them. Note: they have not asked for any notary docs, which is a relief. Then they asked me to wait outside until 3.30 as they have lunch from 1.30 to 2.30. So, I came out, had tea and lunch brought from home. Note: there is no food court nearby, so manage your own, but you can get juice and tea outside.
I again reached the 1st floor and waited until 2.45 pm, then asked for the status. The people there are supportive and did not ask for any money, which was a sign of Acche Din - relieved! The superintendent signed and gave me the letter at 3.30, and I came home with a smile.
Now I have to go to Rohtak for further activity and then one more time to Panchkula for stamping. I believe it's not as tough as it looks, but yes, it takes your body juice on this dry day. All the best; I will update again after I get all done.
