MEA Attestation is one of the most crucial steps in the certificate attestation process for Indian documents to be used in foreign countries that are not part of the Hague Convention. This process ensures the authenticity of educational, personal, and commercial documents, along with the verification of the signature of the issuing authority. Without MEA attestation, your certificates may not be accepted abroad for purposes such as higher education, employment, business setup, or migration.

The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) India is the central authority responsible for authenticating documents issued in the country. Since March 1, 2012, the MEA has outsourced the attestation process, which means that individuals can no longer submit their documents directly to the MEA counters. Instead, the documents must first be verified by the respective state authorities such as the Home Department, HRD, or the Chamber of Commerce (for commercial documents). Once state verification is completed, the MEA attestation stamp is applied, after which the documents may proceed for embassy or consulate attestation if required.
