RGUHS Migration Certificate: When You Need One
Last reviewed 30 July 2026
A migration certificate is a document that supports your move from one university to another. When you enrol in a new institution — often in a different state or country — that institution may ask for a migration certificate from the university that awarded your previous qualification.
It is a routine administrative document, but it is easy to overlook until a new university's admission office requests it. Knowing in advance whether you will need one saves a scramble later.
Who this is for
- Graduates enrolling in a new university for further study.
- Applicants whose destination institution or council specifically asks for a migration certificate.
How the process generally works
A general sequence to help you prepare. Confirm the current, official steps with the university before you apply.
- 1
Check whether your destination actually requires it
Not every institution asks for a migration certificate. Confirm from your admission letter or the receiving institution's document list before applying, so you only request what you need.
- 2
Apply through the university's prescribed process
Submit the request with the current application form, identity proof and any required supporting documents. Requirements, forms and fees are set by the university and can change. Always confirm the current process on the official RGUHS website before you apply.
- 3
Pay the fee and retain proof
Pay the prescribed fee and keep the receipt and any acknowledgement or reference number for follow-up.
- 4
Deliver it to the receiving institution
Provide the certificate to the new institution in the form they accept — original by post/in person, or any approved electronic route they specify.
Document checklist
A general starting point — adapt it to the exact requirements of the body you are applying to.
- Admission letter or document list from the receiving institution
- Degree / provisional certificate and final marks card
- Government photo ID
- The university's current migration certificate application form
- Payment reference / receipt
Good to know
- Request it only if needed — confirm from the receiving institution first.
- Keep the original safe; some institutions want the original, not a copy.
Questions about this document
No. A transcript records your subjects and marks; a migration certificate supports your transfer to another institution. They serve different purposes and are requested separately.
