Diploma Certificate Apostille in Nagaland: Polytechnic, Nursing and ITI
A diploma certificate apostille in Nagaland begins with a final diploma from one of the polytechnics under the Directorate of Technical Education, which works with the State Council for Technical Education (SCTE) on diploma admissions. Once that diploma is in hand, the rest can be arranged from Delhi. INFINITYGRO Attestation then arranges verification and the MEA apostille.

How do I apostille my diploma from Government Polytechnic Kohima? For a diploma certificate apostille in Nagaland, the diploma must be verified first. The state route goes to the Home Department in Kohima, which is Nagaland's designated authority. Through Delhi, a notary and the SDM do the checking instead. After that, the MEA adds the apostille, charging Rs 50 per document.
Polytechnics under DTE Nagaland
The Directorate's 2024 diploma entrance prospectus lists nine institutes. These are Khelhoshe Polytechnic at Atoizu, the Institute of Communication and Information Technology at Mokokchung, and Government Polytechnics at Kohima, Chumoukedima, Tuensang, Phek, Mon, Wokha and Peren.
The Directorate has also been working on accreditation of its polytechnics. Accreditation does not change the apostille steps, but it can matter to an employer who checks the standing of your institute.
SCTE Nagaland works under the Directorate and handles the diploma entrance exam and admissions.
If you studied at a polytechnic in another state on a Nagaland quota seat, your diploma comes from that state's board. Its process then applies, not Nagaland's. Your final diploma names the authority that signed it. That is the signature the verifying officer checks, so please send us a clear photo first.

How a diploma certificate apostille in Nagaland works
- You share a photo of your diploma and passport on WhatsApp.
- We confirm the route and the cost.
- You courier the original diploma and any mark sheets.
- Verification happens in Delhi through a notary and SDM, or in Kohima through the Home Department.
- An authorised outsourced centre lodges the verified diploma with the MEA.
- The MEA matches the verifying officer's signature against its records, then stamps the apostille.
- We send the diploma back by tracked courier.
The Delhi route is usually the faster choice when no foreign body has asked for state verification. Since the state list for Nagaland names only the Home Department, technical diplomas also use that office on the state route.
GNM nurses and ITI tradespeople from Nagaland
GNM and ANM nursing diplomas are tied to registration with the state nursing council. Overseas hospitals often want both the diploma and the registration certificate. We apostille each separately.
Some countries ask nurses for a good standing letter from the council as well. Your recruiter can tell you if this applies. Getting it early keeps the file moving.
ITI trade certificates are issued under NCVT or SCVT. An NCVT certificate belongs to the national system, while an SCVT certificate is a state one. We verify whichever kind you hold, based on the body that issued it.
Posting your diploma from Kohima
From Kohima, send the original diploma by tracked courier to C-5 A/2 New Ashok Nagar, Delhi 110096. Pack it between stiff card so it stays flat. Diploma holders in Dimapur, Mokokchung or Tuensang follow the same steps, though transit may take longer.
If you live in Delhi NCR, bring the diploma to our office instead. After the apostille, the papers travel back to you by Blue Dart or another tracked service. We are not able to collect from your home.
Mistakes that hold up a diploma file
- Sending a photocopy instead of the original
- Sending a laminated diploma, which cannot be stamped on the back
- A name that does not match the passport, with no affidavit
- Sending only the provisional certificate when the employer wants the final diploma
- Forgetting the mark sheets, which each need their own apostille
One more tip: keep a scan of every page before you post the originals. If a courier is delayed, we can still review the file and plan the route.
If any text on your diploma is not in English, we can organise a certified translation at the same time.
Choosing between apostille and embassy attestation
Saudi Arabia, Oman and Bahrain accept an apostille, as do the UK, USA, Canada, Australia and most of Europe. By contrast, the UAE, Qatar, Kuwait and Egypt reject it and need MEA attestation followed by embassy legalization. An Indian apostille also fails in China and in Germany.
Technicians from Nagaland often find jobs in the Gulf through agencies. The agency will usually tell you which stamps are needed, so ask them before you start. That decides whether you need an apostille or embassy legalization for your diploma certificate apostille in Nagaland file.
If you are going to the UAE, see our UAE embassy attestation charges.
What it costs
On the Delhi route, we charge Rs 1,000 to Rs 1,500 per document. The price includes notary work, the SDM step, the Rs 50 MEA fee and our own charge. Courier costs are extra. The usual time is 2 to 3 working days after we receive the papers.
The Kohima route depends on the department's schedule, so we cannot fix a date for it. We send updates as each stage is completed. If your joining date is close, let us know at the start.

Nagaland diploma certificate apostille FAQs
Does DTE Nagaland issue apostilles?
No. The Directorate and its polytechnics deal with the diploma. The apostille is the MEA's job alone.
My diploma is from ICIT Mokokchung. Is the process the same?
Yes. ICIT is listed among the state's diploma institutes, so the same verification and apostille steps apply.
Can I use the Delhi route for a Gulf job in Saudi Arabia?
Yes. Saudi Arabia accepts the apostille, and the Delhi route is usually enough. Ask your employer or recruiting agency to be sure before you send papers.
Can I apostille my diploma and B.Tech degree together?
Yes. Each is verified against its own issuer and gets its own apostille, but they can travel in one courier.
Does a provisional diploma work for an apostille?
It can be verified, but many employers want the final diploma. The two are separate documents, so ask first.
