HRD Attestation in Tamil Nadu – State-Level Authentication Explained
HRD Attestation in Tamil Nadu is the mandatory state-level authentication required for all educational documents issued by universities and boards within Tamil Nadu, including Anna University, University of Madras, and Bharathiar University. This attestation is carried out by the Secretariat in Chennai under the Public (Foreigners) Department.
Whether you are a nurse migrating to the UK, an engineer moving to the UAE, or a student applying for WES Canada, your original degree certificate must be verified and stamped by the Tamil Nadu HRD authority before proceeding with embassy or international legalization.
GloboPrime is an authorized service provider in Tamil Nadu, offering complete support for HRD attestation across all 38 districts. Our services include e-Sanad processing, manual university verification, and coordination with embassies for final legalization.
➤ HRD Attestation Is Mandatory For:
- Employment Visa (Gulf Countries): Mandatory for UAE, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Bahrain, and Saudi Arabia.
- Higher Studies Abroad: Required for admissions in the USA, UK, Canada, and Germany.
- Migration & PR Applications: Essential for Canada Express Entry (WES, ICAS, IQAS) and Australia pathways.
- Professional Licensing: Mandatory for Nurses (DHA, MOH, HAAD) and teaching equivalency.
The “e-Sanad” Revolution: Which Universities are Online?
Tamil Nadu is shifting to e-Sanad (Electronic Service). If your university is on this list, do not send hard copies immediately. We must first apply digitally through the centralized portal to initiate the verification process.
Category A: Fully Digital (e-Sanad)
- • Anna University: Requires digital upload of the Degree Certificate and Consolidated Marksheet.
- • Thiruvalluvar University: Strict online verification must be completed before physical stamping can occur.
- • Tamil Nadu Dr. M.G.R. Medical University: Digital payment and online portal registration are mandatory.
Category B: Hybrid / Manual
- • University of Madras: Physical submission is often still required for older degrees (typically issued pre-2010).
- • Madurai Kamaraj University: Direct verification at the Palkalai Nagar campus is frequently required for final authentication.
Pro Tip for Autonomous College Students: Did you study at an Autonomous College? Even if your college is autonomous (e.g., Loyola, PSG, or Stella Maris), the final HRD attestation is performed based on the Parent University (e.g., Madras University, Anna University) to which your college is affiliated.

University-Specific HRD Procedures
We have specialized teams for every major university in Tamil Nadu. Find your institution below to understand the specific verification protocol.
1. Anna University (Chennai & Affiliated Colleges)
The HRD process here is distinct. For all degrees issued by Anna University (Guindy, Chennai) or its affiliated engineering colleges, the Secretariat requires a “Genuineness Certificate” prior to stamping.
- The Document: The Secretariat requires a specific document called the “Genuineness Certificate”. This is different from a Transcript.
- WES Applicants: For Canada immigration, we can simultaneously apply for Official Transcripts. We collect the sealed envelope from the “Centre for Student Affairs” and can ship it directly to WES Canada on your behalf (acting as the “University Representative”).
- Our Process: We submit your request directly to the Controller of Examinations (COE) at the Guindy campus to retrieve this verification.
- Transcripts: If you are applying for WES or immigration, we can simultaneously process your University Transcripts along with the HRD attestation to save time.
2. University of Madras (Chennai)
For degrees from the University of Madras, verification is handled at the Chepauk Campus.
- Degrees from Autonomous Colleges (like Loyola, MCC, Stella Maris) often cause confusion. Even if your college is autonomous, the Parent University (Madras University) must verify the degree.
- Our Process: The university requires a specific “Verification Certificate” before the State HRD Ministry will accept the document. We handle the Demand Draft (DD) payments and physical submission at the registrar’s office on your behalf, ensuring the “Genuineness” seal is applied correctly before moving to the Secretariat.
3. Bharathiar University (Coimbatore)
- You do not need to travel to the main campus even if you studied in Coimbatore, Erode, or Nilgiris.
- Distance Education: We frequently handle School of Distance Education (SDE) certificates. These are fully valid for HRD attestation, provided the original Provisional or Degree certificate is submitted.
- Our Process: Our Western Hub team handles the direct submission in Coimbatore, ensuring your documents are verified and sent to Chennai for the final seal without delay.
- Common Issue: Name corrections. If your degree name differs from your passport (e.g., “R. Kumar” vs “Ravi Kumar”), Bharathiar University requires a specific Name Correction Affidavit before verification.
4. The Tamil Nadu Dr. M.G.R. Medical University (Guindy)
- Applicable for MBBS, BDS, Nursing, and Pharmacy degrees.
- Registrations: Beyond HRD, we assist with verification from the Tamil Nadu Nursing Council (TNCC), Medical Council, and Pharmacy Council.
- Note: For UK or UAE (DHA/MOH) migration, your Registration Certificate must also be attested.
5. Madurai Kamaraj University (Madurai)
- Located in Palkalai Nagar, this university serves southern Tamil Nadu districts.
- Our Process: Whether you were a regular student or via DDE, we handle the verification at the administrative block.
- Timeline: This university often has a faster verification turnaround compared to Chennai-based institutions.
For Nurses & Doctors (DHA / MOH / UK NMC)
HRD is just step one. We provide the complete package for healthcare professionals:
- TN Nursing Council (TNCC): Renewal and “Verification Certificate” collection.
- Medical Council: We handle the “Good Standing Certificate” for UAE/UK licensing.
- CGFNS: For USA migration, we take care of couriering CGFNS verifications as required.

Complete Document Legalization After HRD Attestation
HRD attestation is usually just the first step. After the Tamil Nadu HRD stamp, documents must go through additional legalization stages depending on the destination country. We manage the entire end-to-end workflow to ensure accuracy and compliance.
➤ MEA Attestation (New Delhi)
Once HRD is completed, the document is submitted to the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), New Delhi. This step authenticates the document at the national level. We handle MEA processing centrally for faster turnaround.
➤ Embassy Attestation (For Non-Hague Countries)
- UAE: Requires UAE Embassy Attestation followed by MOFA (Ministry of Foreign Affairs) attestation in the UAE.
- Qatar: Requires Qatar Embassy Attestation along with Chamber of Commerce verification.
- Kuwait: Requires country-specific formatting and verification for visa stamping approval.
➤ Apostille (For Hague Convention Countries)
For Hague Convention countries such as Germany, Italy, France, and Oman, embassy attestation is not required. After Tamil Nadu HRD, documents receive a direct MEA Apostille sticker, making them legally valid in all Hague member nations.
