Pickup & Delivery in Chennai
Have you received an official employment offer in Doha, or are you preparing to bring your family on a Qatar Family Residence Visa (Qatar ID / RP)? Because the State of Qatar is not a signatory to the Hague Apostille Convention, standard Apostille stickers are not accepted by Qatari immigration, labor, or educational ministries. Indian certificates must undergo an intricate, multi-tiered consular legalisation concluding with the official seal of the Embassy of the State of Qatar in New Delhi and subsequent Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) verification in Doha.
AK Travel Services is celebrated as the premier Certificate Attestation Agency Qatar in Chennai. Qatar Embassy enforces some of the strictest educational verification rules in the world, mandating that Degree certificates must be accompanied by all semester mark sheets and an official College Bonafide Verification Letter certifying regular on-campus study. Our dedicated consular desk in Kodambakkam ensures complete regulatory compliance, swift State HRD and MEA clearance, authentic Qatar Embassy stamping, and free doorstep service across Chennai.

No. The State of Qatar is NOT a member of the Hague Apostille Convention. Therefore, a standard Apostille sticker is invalid for Qatar. Indian documents must follow the multi-tier consular legalisation chain: Notary/State HRD → MEA New Delhi → Embassy of the State of Qatar → MOFA (Ministry of Foreign Affairs) in Doha, Qatar.
The Embassy of the State of Qatar strictly mandates that a degree certificate CANNOT be attested alone. It must be submitted as a coordinated trio package: 1) Original Degree Certificate, 2) Consolidated or all semester mark sheets, and 3) An official Bonafide / Verification Letter from the college or university principal/registrar certifying that the candidate was a regular, full-time on-campus student (stating start/end dates, mode of study, and college accreditation).
No. As per official Qatar consular policy, degrees obtained through distance learning, private study, open universities, or correspondence courses are strictly NOT accepted for Qatar Embassy attestation. Only regular, full-time on-campus academic degrees with a supporting bonafide letter are eligible for attestation.
For personal documents like Marriage and Birth certificates, State HRD is not required. The document is authenticated through Notary → Sub-Divisional Magistrate (SDM) or State Home Department → MEA New Delhi → Embassy of the State of Qatar → MOFA in Doha. This attested marriage certificate is mandatory to sponsor your spouse on a Qatar Family Residence Visa.
Yes. A Police Clearance Certificate (PCC) issued by the Regional Passport Office / Passport Seva Kendra (PSK) is required by Qatar employers and the Ministry of Interior (MOI Qatar) for employment visa stamping and Qatar ID (QID) processing. The PCC must be attested by MEA and the Qatar Embassy within its 3 to 6-month validity period.
Personal certificates (Marriage, Birth, PCC) typically take 7 to 10 working days. Educational degree attestation takes approximately 12 to 18 working days, as it involves college bonafide verification and State HRD authentication. AK Travel Services also provides express fast-track processing for urgent employment visa deadlines.
