In this article, we’ll explain everything you need to know about embassy attestation and how True Attestation can assist you with it across India.

What is Embassy Attestation?

Embassy attestation is a legal procedure that confirms the authenticity of a document issued in one country so it can be legally used in another. If you are an Indian citizen and plan to use Indian-origin documents in a foreign country, those documents must be authenticated or attested by the respective country’s embassy or consulate in India.

This attestation acts as proof that the document is genuine and has been verified by the appropriate government authorities.

Why Do You Need Embassy Attestation?

There are several instances when you might need embassy attestation:

To pursue higher studies abroad

To apply for an overseas job

To get a family or residence visa

To set up or expand a business

For medical treatments abroad

For migrating with family

In case of emergencies (medical/legal)

Whatever the reason, embassy attestation ensures your documents are legally accepted in the foreign country you plan to visit or reside in.

Step-by-Step Embassy Attestation Process in India

Here is a simplified overview of the standard embassy attestation process followed in India:

✅ Step 1: State-Level Attestation

Before a document reaches the embassy, it must first be authenticated by the respective State Home Department (for personal documents) or Human Resource Department (HRD) (for educational documents).

✅ Step 2: MEA (Ministry of External Affairs) Attestation

Once the state-level attestation is done, the document is submitted to the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) in New Delhi. MEA verifies the document and affixes an official stamp or Apostille.

✅ Step 3: Embassy Attestation

Finally, the document is submitted to the embassy or consulate of the destination country in India. Once approved, the embassy affixes its official seal and signature.

At this point, the document becomes valid for official use in that country.

What is Apostille Attestation?

For countries that are members of the Hague Convention, documents do not need to go through embassy attestation. Instead, they require Apostille Attestation, which is a simplified form of document legalization accepted by 100+ countries.

Apostille is done by:

Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) only

Apostille is affixed on:

The reverse side of the original document or on a separate page attached to it.

Important Note:

Only genuine, original documents are eligible for attestation or apostille. If, at any stage, a document is found to be fake or the attestation found to be forged:

The document will be seized by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA)

Legal action may be initiated

Service fees are non-refundable

That’s why it’s important to work with a professional and experienced company like True Attestation.
