MEA Attestation in Delhi - ensuring your certificates are legally recognized across the globe. This process is vital for education, employment, immigration, and business expansion.
What Is MEA Attestation?
MEA Attestation is the official certification issued by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), Government of India. It validates that your documents have been authenticated by the respective state authorities and are genuine for international use. Without MEA attestation, even valid certificates may face rejection during visa or immigration checks abroad.
The attestation is affixed as a stamp or sticker on your original document, carrying a unique identification number that foreign authorities can verify online. This ensures transparency, credibility, and global acceptance.
Apostille:
India is a member of the Hague Convention of October 5, 1961, abolishing the requirement of legalization of foreign public documents. Apostille is acceptable in 98 member-countries of the Convention - please see list below - (also visit HCCH website: www.hcch.net). Appostille is done for personal documents like birth/death/marriage certificates, Affidavits, Power of Attorney, etc., and educational documents like degree, diploma, matriculation and secondary level certificates etc.
