CERTIFICATE OF ATTESTATION

Certification attestation is the process of verifying the authenticity of documents to be used internationally. It is required for various purposes, including employment, higher education, business setup, or residency in a foreign country. The attestation process typically involves multiple authorities, starting from notarization by a local authority, followed by verification from government departments such as the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) and, in some cases, the embassy or consulate of the destination country. This ensures that documents like educational certificates, birth and marriage certificates, and commercial papers are legally recognized abroad.
