Taking your registration abroad
Every regulator abroad asks India for roughly the same thing and accepts it on completely different terms. What catches people out is almost never the document — it is who is allowed to send it, and how long it stays valid.
MPDS India handles the Indian paperwork only — getting your documents issued and, where the regulator requires it, sent by your council directly. We do not give licensing or immigration advice for any country, and we are not agents for any foreign regulator.

We check the current requirement for your case. We have not verified a current requirement for these, so we are not publishing one — but we do handle them, and we check the rule before you act on anything.
True wherever you are going
- The core Indian document is a Good Standing or Current Professional Status certificate from every council you have been registered with — usually covering the last five years.
- If you have been registered in more than one state, you will usually need one from each.
- Several regulators require the certificate to reach them directly from your Indian council. A copy you forward yourself is refused.
The timing trap
A good standing certificate has a validity window, and people request it the day they start their paperwork — months before they submit. By the time the regulator reads it, it has expired, and no council will backdate one. Each destination page has a date calculator that works backwards from when you will actually submit.
What we do
- Work out which service and which council your case actually needs
- Give you a document checklist built for your case, not a generic list
- Prepare and check your application before anything is submitted
- File on the official portal using your own login, with your approval of everything first
- Follow up where we can, and tell you what has changed on WhatsApp
What we never do
- Create, alter, arrange or sign any document or certificate — including employment certificates
- Guarantee approval, a timeline, or what a council will decide
- Attend in-person, biometric, signature or original-document verification in your place
- Contact a council pretending to be you, or present ourselves as a government office
If anyone offers you these things for a fee, that is worth walking away from — whoever they are.
Important: Government authorities may ask applicants to personally appear for verification, original document verification, biometric verification, signature verification or additional requirements at any stage. MPDS India cannot replace the applicant where personal appearance is mandatory.
