People going abroad for jobs or for higher studies can now get their educational certificates authenticated within their State itself by the authorized officials of the State Government and need not travel to Delhi for the same.
The Ministry of Human Resource Development in consultation with Ministry of External Affairs has already delegated the power to authenticate educational certificates to the State Governments. The State Governments are required to authorize nominated officials to authenticate educational certificates. Although not all foreign governments insist on for authentication, this is required by a few West Asian countries.
