Step-by-Step Process for Indian Certificate Attestation
1. Notarization in India
Visit a notary public in India to get your certificate notarized. This step confirms the document is legitimate and ready for further authentication.
2. State HRD Attestation (For Educational Documents)
Submit your educational certificates to the respective state's Human Resource Development (HRD) department.
They verify the issuing institution's credentials and provide an attestation stamp.
3. Home Department Attestation (For Personal Documents)
The respective state's Home Department provides verification and attestation for personal documents.

The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) in India authenticates the documents after state-level verification. This step ensures the documents are valid for international use.

Submit the MEA-attested documents to the UAE Embassy or Consulate in India.
The embassy will provide an attestation stamp, confirming the document's authenticity for use in the UAE.

This step legalizes the document for official use in the UAE.
