- Register on the AP NEET 2026 counselling portal at apdhte.nic.in and download your verification call letter.
- Arrange all documents in the order given in the official checklist — originals on top, with self-attested photocopies placed behind each original document.
- Report to the venue before the reporting time stated in your call letter. Late arrivals may be denied entry.
- Submit three sets of self-attested photocopies at the verification counter as instructed by the officer.
- Originals will be cross-checked on the spot and returned to you immediately after verification is complete.

Document Preparation Tips
Use this checklist before heading to the verification centre to avoid last-minute disqualification:
- Carry at least three sets of self-attested photocopies of every document in your folder.
- Ensure your APST or category certificate is valid and not expired — check the issue date requirements stated in the official APDHTE notification.
- Do not carry laminated originals — all text must be clearly readable by the verification officer.
- Sort your document folder in the same order as the official checklist published by APDHTE.
- If any certificate is in a regional language, carry a certified English translation along with the original.
- Students who appeared for Class 12 in 2026 should carry their provisional marksheet if the final board certificate has not yet been issued.
- Check apdhte.nic.in before the verification date for any additions or changes to the document list through official corrigendums.
