MEA Attestation is the official process of verifying and authenticating documents by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), Government of India, to ensure their legal acceptance in foreign countries. This attestation confirms that the submitted documents are genuine and have been issued by recognized authorities in India.

MEA attestation is a mandatory requirement for individuals and organizations planning to use Indian documents abroad for purposes such as employment, higher education, immigration, business setup, or family residence visas. The process applies to a wide range of documents, including educational certificates, personal documents, and commercial papers.

Before MEA attestation, documents must first be verified by the relevant State authorities or designated departments, depending on the document type. Once verified, the MEA affixes its official stamp or sticker, certifying the document’s authenticity for international use. In some cases, MEA attestation is followed by Embassy or Consulate attestation, as required by the destination country.

Choosing a professional MEA attestation service helps ensure a smooth, accurate, and timely process, reducing delays and avoiding errors. With expert handling, applicants can be confident that their documents meet all legal and procedural requirements for use overseas.
