In India, one has to get their document attested by the local state HRD and the concerned embassy/consulate. It is issued in the form of a stamp or signature of the concerned authority. For instance, if you are getting your educational document attestation, then the stamp of the University will serve as a proof that your document holds a legal status. This makes the document use valid in other countries.
Attesting your documents is a part of a crucial process if one wishes to travel abroad. Attestation is a process of achieving a stamp or signature on various documents by a credible authority to grant them a legal status. The documents issued in one country cannot be used in other countries because they are not considered as valid for use. Therefore to provide your documents a legal status so that they can become valid in other countries, one has to get their documents attested. Once attested, the documents become valid to use for any purpose in other country.
Attestation of documents can be initiated by several individuals, depending on the core requirements. In some cases, Self-attestation may be sufficient, whereas government-issued certificate attestation may be necessary in others. The Notary, State Department, Ministry of External Affairs, and the Embassy of the respective country are the designated departments that attest visa documents. For UAE attestation, Qatar attestation, Saudi attestation, and other Gulf countries, an additional level of verification called Ministry Of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) attestation must also be completed
Are you willing to travel to Kuwait and are confused about the procedure for getting your personal documents attested? Not to worry anymore because SPS brings you the explanation of the complete procedure of attestation of your personal documents:
Your journey to document attestation begins with the submission of your personal documents at SPS. Once the client’s original documents are submitted, it is the responsibility of the team at SPS to submit them to all the concerned authorities and get them verified.
his is the foremost step for getting verification of personal documents. The attestation at this level is obtained from a local notary in the form of their signature or a stamp.
Home Department AttestationAfter Notary attestation, the personal documents go through verification by the Home Department. It is only the Home Department that can certify personal documents, including marriage certificate and death certificate by issuing their stamp or signature.
SDM AttestationThe next verification step is by the Sub-Divisional Magistrate. Sub-Divisional Magistrates are adjuncts of the Home Department, or in rare cases of the Human Resources Department.
MEA AttestationThis is last step of verification by the native government. The document is attested once the Ministry of External Affairs issues their official stamp at the back of the document.
Embassy AttestationThis is the last step of verification where the officials of the respective country verify the personal documents and issues their official stamp or signature on the document.
An Apostille is a French word that means Certification and it’s Pronounce as “ah-po-style”. An Apostille is simply the name for a specialized certificate, issued by the Ministry of External Affairs, New Delhi. The Apostille sticker is pasted on the backside of original document to verify it is legitimate and authentic, so it will be accepted in one of the other countries who are members of The Hague Apostille Convention.
The Apostille Convention is an international treaty that simplifies the legalization procedure for foreign public documents. It allows a Government body to certify a document issued in its own country as valid for other countries without further certification by the destination state. The Convention has 126 contracting states as of November 2023, including the United States and Canada.
The Apostille Convention provides the simplified certification of public (including notarized) documents to be used in countries that have joined the convention. Documents destined for use in participating countries and their territories should be certified by one of the officials in the jurisdiction in which the document has been executed.
The Hague Convention requires that all Apostille be numbered consecutively, with individual numbers applied to each Apostille issued. The recognized standard Apostille contains a seal and 10 mandatory references: name of country from which the document emanates, name of person signing the document, the capacity in which the person signing the document has acted, in the case of unsigned documents, the name of the authority that has affixed the seal or stamp, place of certification date of certification, the authority issuing the certificate, number of certificate, seal or stamp of authority issuing certificate and signature of authority issuing certificate. Prior to the introduction of Apostille certificates the burden on international courts and authorities to judge foreign documents as authentic was quite considerable. On the October 5, 1961 the Hague Convention abolished the requirement of legalization for foreign public documents. The Convention reduces all of the formalities of legalization to the simple delivery of a certificate in a prescribed form, entitled “Apostille”, by the authorities of the Ministry where the document originates. This certificate, placed on the document, is dated, numbered and registered. The verification of its registration can be carried out without difficulty by means of a simple request for information addressed to the authority which delivered the certificate.
Apostille Process depends that if the documents are Educational, Non Educational or Commercial. Educational Certificate Apostille is required if you are going for Job or Study in any of The Hague Convention Countries.
