Process Of MEA Attestation

MEA Attestation is a multilayered process that includes many departments that are responsible for several kinds of documents. Every document must get verified by the eligible department of the verification will not be considered valid.

Step 1: Verification from the local notary

The verification process starts with documents and certificates getting their verification from local authorities like local notaries and universities, from where these documents and certificates were originally issued. If the documents and certificates will not get this level of verification then they will not be eligible for state-level verification. This does not add for commercial documents as they need not get verification from the local notary.

Step 2: Departmental verifications

Level two of the verification process includes departments that are of state level. Each department is responsible for a certain type of document. Home Department and Sub Divisional Department handles personal documents, Human Resource Development Department handles professional and academic documents and Chamber of Commerce handles Commercial departments.

Step 3: Stamp from MEA

Level three of Document verification includes the legitimacy that documents get from MEA ( Ministry of External Affairs ) through a stamp. This stamp is only provided if the documents and certificate are verified in the right manner.
