Bonafide -Marksheet, Convocation Degree Attestation, Translation, Verification & Stamps from Indian Embassy, Doha & MOFA, Doha - Guidelines for Indians

Hello All,

Sharing you the info and current process as on 28-Aug-17.

Kindly complete below given Attestation process from India. Check with the various agents in India.

I am from Mumbai, Sharing you below details- Cost -INR. 19000-22000/-. Approx-45-50 Calendar Days.

Do not laminate the Documents else it will be difficult for getting stamps on certificates.

 

Qatar Attestation process from India - 
on degree(Convocation) - university verification + notary + home dept of Maharashtra state + hrd + mea + qatar embassy, India attestation
on last semester marksheet - notary + home dept of Maharashtra state + mea + qatar embassy, India 
on bonafide letter(College Verification) - notary + home dept of Maharashtra state + mea + qatar embassy, India 

Note: The above process can be done from Qatar too, provided that you have college bonafide. Also note, the type of Degree to be attested may be Graduate/Post Graduate, depends on your Job Profile/Profile mentioned on Visa. Check with the agent about this or company’s PRO/HR.

 

After completing above process in India, follow below process after reaching Qatar within 3-6 months, you must visit below offices:

 

Step A: Indian Embassy, Qatar. Address- 86 & 90 Al Eithra Street، Doha, Qatar

Guidelines-

  1. Go early morning approx. 7am as there will be big queue for Token. Embassy opens at 8am.
  2. Carry all docs Photocopies (Black & white -Front & back).

Docs to carry-

  • degree(Convocation)+ last semester marksheet + bonafide letter- Original & Photocopies-Front and back(stamps too)
  • Offer letter & Joining letter(Sometime they demand-not demanded in my case) - Original & Photocopies
  • Passport / Qatar ID + Visa - Original & Photocopies

Note- You will get one consulate form (For Passport details) along with Token number which you have to fill and submit along with original docs.

  1. Fees-total- QAR117 (QAR 39 each) for all 3 docs stamping.
  2. You have to go twice – First for submission before 11am and second for collection after 2.30pm till 4pm.

 

Step B: Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA), Doha, Qatar. Address, Near British Embassy.

Note-There are 2 addresses. MOFA official website show different address. Me and my friend reached there, security said Attestation office is near British Embassy and not in hi-tech Doha buildings which you see in Photos where there are various ministry offices. It is now located as Red Dot in the Google map

So, once you reach the embassy compound, security checks will be done. Carry your original Passport or Qatar ID, proceed inside, shuttle bus (free) will take you to MOFA. Its quick, you will get the stamped at same time.

  1. MOFA opens at 9am. We reached at 9.30 am. Process is too quick that we have got token and stamping took 15 min.
  2. Docs to carry-
  • degree(Convocation)+ last semester marksheet+ bonafide letter- Original (Duly stamped by Indian Embassy, Doha)
  • Passport+ Visa – Original

Note- Photocopies are not requested from us but advisable that you should carry.

  1. Fees-total-QAR300 (QAR 100 each) for all 3 docs stamping.

Also, they will provide you Debit/Prepaid card which will be used to pay these fee for

QAR 20 extra.

 

Step C: Arabic Translator.

You have to approach Qatar Registered Arabic Translator. He/She will translate your Degree (Convocation) and provide his/her stamped. This translated document(s) will be submitted to Labour Dept, Qatar to process further. Actually, this is the last step, the PRO/HR will send your Translated documents, Photocopy of Original Documents(the one’s which got translated both front and back(with stamps) sides), employment contract, etc to process further.

           Note-

Translation can be done before step A too. My friend belongs to some university in Tamil Nadu and myself from Mumbai University. When we went to a Translator(Translation charges QAR 50 per document). He demanded only Convocation (Degree) certificate from me and said its sufficient. However, from my friend, the translator demanded degree (Convocation)+ last semester marksheet+ bonafide letter.

So, you have to check with the Translator regarding which documents are exactly required to be translated. I believe- Translation process is based on Passing year, University, Type of Degree, etc

This article is really helpful indeed. I was also concerned when I wanted to attest my certificates but then I heard that there are attestation agencies in Qatar that can do all of the above procedure for us including the translation. Only Ministry certified translation agencies should do the certificate translation otherwise it will become invalid. I did all of the above procedure from one of the popular agency in this field, Trustlink Qatar. They provided the attested certificates and translation faster than I expected. I will share their contact details below.

Need some advice from you.I'm an Indian citizen and completed my studies in a foreign country.I already have sponsor visa for Qatar and I'll be leaving in a couple of week.The problem is, I haven't attested my degree certificates yet because I'm confused about the procedure.

Dear Punit,

I have done the attestation (Degree Certificate, Grade Sheet, Bonafide & Experience certificates) from India, which includes HRD+MEA India+MOFA Qatar.

For applying to UPDA exam, is it mandatory to get the attestation here in Indian embassy of Qatar and MOFA Qatar? Or I can proceed with the attested certificates from India?

If I need to get the attestation from Indian embassy and MOFA Qatar, whether I need to attest all my certificates or Just the degree certificate is enough for UPDA?

Thank you in advance!!
