MEA Attestation Procedures in India

MEA Attestation Service in Chennai

MEA Attestation is the official authentication of documents by the Ministry of External Affairs, Government of India. It is a vital step for validating documents intended for use abroadβ€”whether for education, employment, migration, or legal purposes.

The MEA affixes an official stamp and seal after state-level verification is completed. This process ensures that your documents are legally recognized in foreign jurisdictions. MEA attestation is often followed by embassy attestation, depending on the destination country’s requirements. It is applicable to educational, personal, and commercial documents. For countries under the Hague Convention, an apostille may be issued instead of traditional attestation.
