Indian Attestation Process in UAE
The process can look complicated at first. In practice, it follows a logical sequence.
1: Check the Document
Start by identifying the document, issuing authority and reason for use. This helps determine the correct attestation route.
2: Complete Authentication in India
Many Indian documents need authentication by the relevant state authority or department before Ministry of External Affairs processing.
3: Get Ministry of External Affairs Attestation
The Ministry of External Affairs handles normal attestation and apostille attestation services for Indian documents intended for use abroad.
4: Complete UAE Mission Attestation in India
The UAE Embassy Attestation in New Delhi or UAE Consulate in Mumbai may need to attest Indian documents after the required Indian authentication. The UAE Embassy confirms that Indian documents must first receive Ministry of External Affairs attestation before UAE Embassy processing.
5: Complete the Required Indian Mission Stage in the UAE
For applicable documents, the Indian Embassy or Consulate can provide the required attestation or notarial service in the UAE.
6: Complete UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs Attestation
The final UAE stage may involve the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Its current service confirms the authenticity of signatures and seals on documents.
Because requirements can vary by document, professional guidance can help you avoid completing the wrong stage.
