USIEF will charge a fee of Rs. 40/- per attestation (per signature) with effect from November 1, 2008.

USIEF will attest official credential documents awarded by Indian institutions recognized / approved by UGC, AICTE or AIU only.

All credentials that are given by the awarding institution to all its students (irrespective of whether or not they apply to US colleges or not) fall under the category "official credential documents."

Pass certificates and marks statements issued by recognized boards / councils for 10th and 12th classes; degree certificates and marks statements from recognized post-secondary institutions are examples of official documents for attestation.

USIEF centers, if satisfied, accept the original documents, make photocopies of the document as per the request and deliver the attested copies to the student within the time period specified by individual centers.

Each set of attestations will be delivered to the student along with an accompanying cover letter signed by the Education Adviser in a sealed envelope.

This cover letter states that USIEF has made the best efforts to check if the original certificate presented to USIEF was authentic.
