What Is Indian Document Attestation?
Indian document attestation is the official verification process that confirms the authenticity of documents issued in India so they can be legally recognized in the UAE or other foreign countries.
Attestation validates:
- The issuing authority
- The authenticity of the document
- Legal acceptance by UAE government entities
Without attestation, Indian documents have no legal value outside India.
Why Indian Document Attestation Is Required in the UAE
Indian documents must be attested to:
- Apply for UAE employment visas
- Sponsor family or dependent visas
- Enroll children in UAE schools
- Pursue higher education
- Set up or expand a business in the UAE
- Meet embassy and MOFA compliance
❗ Without proper attestation, documents are rejected by UAE authorities, leading to delays or visa refusal.

Indian Document Attestation Process from India
Step-by-Step Guide
When documents are attested from India, they must pass through multiple government authorities.
🔹 Step 1: Notary Attestation (India)
- Initial verification by a licensed public notary
- Confirms document legitimacy
- Mandatory for most personal and commercial documents
🔹 Step 2: State-Level Authentication (India)
State-level authentication verifies the document at the state of origin.
Authorities Involved:
- HRD / Education Department – Educational certificates
- Home Department / SDM – Personal certificates
- Chamber of Commerce – Commercial documents
This step confirms that the issuing authority is valid within India.
🔹 Step 3: Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) Attestation – India
MEA attestation is a mandatory central government verification.
Key Points:
- MEA places an official stamp or sticker
- Confirms national-level authenticity
- Required before embassy attestation
❗ Without MEA attestation, embassy attestation is not accepted.
🔹 Step 4: UAE Embassy Attestation (India)
- Performed by the UAE Embassy in India
- Confirms document acceptance in the UAE
- Bridges Indian and UAE legal systems
🔹 Step 5: UAE MOFA Attestation
- Final legalization by the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs
