1. Notary Attestation

The process starts at the local level with notary attestation. A notary public verifies the authenticity of the document and stamps it as a preliminary validation. This step ensures that the certificate is ready for further verification.

2. State Home Department Attestation

The next stage involves attestation by the State Home Department or Sub-Divisional Magistrate (SDM). The document is reviewed and verified at the state level before being forwarded for central-level attestation. Some states may have specific requirements, so it’s essential to confirm these details beforehand.

3. Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) Attestation

Once the document is authenticated by the State Home Department, it undergoes attestation by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA). The MEA applies an apostille stamp or attestation seal, depending on whether the destination country is part of the Hague Convention.

4. Embassy Attestation

For countries not included in the Hague Convention, embassy attestation is required. This step involves legalizing the document through the embassy or consulate of the destination country.

5. MOFA Attestation (if applicable)

In some cases, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) of the destination country may need to authenticate the document after embassy attestation.
