MEA Attestation Of Degree Certificate

MEA Attestation of Degree Certificate

If you are travelling outside of the country for the purpose of education or employment, you must first obtain a student visa. Then, in order to proceed with the rest of the process, you must obtain educational certificate attestation from the central government, which will verify the authenticity of your educational documents. Before getting central level legalisation for a degree certificate, the documents must be authenticated by other government offices such as the Notary and the Human Resources Department, and only then can the degree certificate attestation be completed.



How to get Ministry of External Affairs attestation?

This entire MEA attestation procedure can be quite difficult and time-consuming, and it is nearly impossible to complete on your own. Apostille attestation and certificate authentication services are provided by a number of MEA attestation agents. PEC is one of the authentication services that has earned a good reputation. We can assist you with the verification process from beginning to end by executing it on your behalf; all you have to do is fill out the enquiry form and send us your papers.


MEA Attestation Procedure

Before validating papers, the Ministry of External Affairs' attestation system necessitates several rounds of prior authentication. The entire central document authentication procedure is dependent on the type of papers, which might be personal, educational, or commercial. The following is the procedure:

·        Regional level: It's the first step in the certificate verification process. This stage of legalisation can be completed by the notary, the university from whence the documents were issued, or the Chamber of Commerce in the case of commercial documents, depending on the requirements.

·        State Attestation: The legalisation of state certificates is handled by three separate institutions, according on the document type's requirements. The State Home Department (SHD), the Human Resource Department (HRD), and the Sub-Divisional Magistrate are the three departments in question (SDM). Although SDM is independent of the state government, the verification completed by this authority is deemed state-wide.

·        MEA attestation: The MEA, or Ministry of External Affairs, is the final level of validation from the home government, after which the document receives a MEA stamp or sticker. MEA is the country's major agency in charge of international relations, and it elects a minister every five years.

 


MEA Attestation for Personal Document

When applying for MEA legalisation of personal documents, you must first obtain a Notary certificate from local authorities, and then MEA legalisation of personal documents must be verified by the Home Department. Following these authentications, the MEA stamps documents, allowing them to go to the embassy for further legality. SDM authentication is an alternate procedure for Home Department authentication.

·        1. Notary

·        2. Home Department Certification

·        3. Ministry of External Affairs Authentication


MEA Attestation for Commercial Documents

The first and most important step in the certification of commercial documents is to have them certified by the Chamber of Commerce. They stamp your documents as proof of authentication after they verify them. Following the Chamber of Commerce's authentication, you must obtain authentication from the federal government before proceeding to the next step, which will be handled by the embassy.

·        2. Ministry of External Affairs


The difference between MEA Attestation and Apostille

At the end of the day, both apostille and legalisation serve the same purpose: to confirm the authenticity of documents, and both are issued by the central government. However, there is a distinction between the two: In apostille, you will receive a stamp on your documents along with an apostille sticker, but in attestation, you will receive only a stamp on the backside.


How much time does it take to get MEA Attestation in India?

MEA is required for a group of documents. The time it takes to complete the operation varies depending on the state of the document, the type of document, and the need for verification. Because of these circumstances, the Ministry of External Affairs attestation takes around 7 to 12 business days. When HRD authentication is required, as well as university credential verification, the process takes longer.


What are the MEA Attestation fees?

The cost of legalising varies depending on the Indian state from which the document was issued, your location, and the type of document you have. The cost could be low or costly, depending on a variety of factors such as the urgency of the necessity or other add-on services such as pick-up and drop-off.
