British Council Service Charges for Attestation Service*

• Attestation of UK GCE examination certificate copies (verified through CIE Direct website)
Rs 750 – for attesting up to 4 GCE certificate photocopies can be attested.

• For non – GCE qualifications

Rs 2,500 -for attesting up to 4 photocopies

Important
*The qualification issuing body in the UK may have their own charge for verifying the documents that
we have been asked to attest.
Any charge for such verification is to be paid for by the candidate to British Council once we have been
informed of the charge and advised the applicant of the same

As the British Council needs to verify the qualification/result with the issuing authority before attesting, we
cannot give a definitive delivery time for this service. However we will endeavour to deliver within three days in
the case of GCE certificates and for other qualifications at the earliest once the qualification has been verified.

If after two reminders sent by the British Council, the award issuing authority does not respond to its request to
verify the result/document, the original will be returned to the customer and a refund will be issued subject to an
administration charge of Rs 500.
