What is Birth Certificate Attestation?
Birth Certificate Attestation is the process of getting your Birth Certificate authenticated by a chain of government authorities — starting with the State Home Department, then the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), and finally the destination country's embassy in India. This multi-step verification confirms that the birth certificate is genuine and officially recognised by the foreign country.
Without proper attestation, your Birth Certificate will not be accepted for dependent visa, children's school admission abroad, or family residency applications in UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Oman, or Bahrain.
📌 Important
The attestation process and requirements differ for each destination country. UAE requires MOFA attestation after Embassy; Qatar and Kuwait have their own embassy processes. Our team ensures your Birth Certificate follows the exact correct process for your specific destination country.
