Embassy Attestation Services in India
We take your documents through state authentication, MEA attestation and embassy or consulate legalisation for countries that do not accept the apostille.
Overview
About embassy attestation
Countries that are not members of the Hague Apostille Convention do not accept an apostille. They require your document to be attested by their embassy or consulate in India, after it has been authenticated by the state and attested by the Ministry of External Affairs.
Some countries add a final stage after arrival. For example, the UAE requires MoFA attestation in the UAE once the embassy attestation is complete.
Requirements differ by country, document type and purpose (employment, education, family visa, business). We confirm the exact route for your case before we start.
