Embassy Attestation

For countries that haven't joined the Hague Convention, your documents need attestation from the destination country's own embassy or consulate in India — after state and MEA-level clearance.

How It Works

How Embassy Attestation Works

A longer chain than apostille, since each authority in the sequence must clear the document before the next will accept it.

1

Notarisation

Your document is first notarised, establishing the base level of certification everything else builds on.

2

State / HRD attestation

The relevant State Home Department or HRD department attests the document, depending on its type.

3

MEA attestation

The Ministry of External Affairs attests the document centrally, a required step before any embassy will accept it.

4

Embassy / consulate attestation

We submit to the destination country's embassy or consulate in India for their final attestation stamp.

5

Verification & return

We check every stamp against the embassy's own checklist before returning your original document to you.

FAQs

Embassy Attestation, Answered

Which countries require embassy attestation instead of apostille?

Any country outside the Hague Convention — commonly the UAE, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman, Egypt, Canada and China, among others. We'll confirm the exact requirement for your destination.

Do I need to visit the embassy myself?

No — we submit and collect on your behalf through the embassy's authorised attestation process, so you don't need to visit in person.

Why does embassy attestation take longer than apostille?

Because it involves four sequential authorities (notary, state, MEA, embassy) instead of one. Each stage depends on the previous one being complete, and embassy processing times vary by country.

Can I skip MEA attestation and go straight to the embassy?

No — nearly all embassies in India require MEA attestation to be completed first, and will reject documents submitted out of sequence.
