Attestation of documents such as Marriage Certificates, Birth Certificates, Educational Certificates, Police Clearance Certificates (PCC), and Commercial Documents has become a legal requirement in cases where documents that are issued in one country need to be recognized in another country. Certificate attestation verifies the legitimacy of the documents issued in a foreign country.
Whether it is a family visa, spouse visa, child visa, residency, citizenship, employment, education, or setting up a business abroad, the use of attested documents is important. The need for document attestation arises from the fact that every country demands it to confirm whether the documents from abroad are genuine.
The attestation process may involve several steps, such as Home Department/Notary attestation, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, or Embassy/Consulate attestation of the target country. This may vary depending on the nature of the document, the country of origin, as well as the target country.
