What is Documents Attestation Process in India?
The Attestation Process in Mumbai
1. Notary Authentication The first step involves verification by a registered notary public in Mumbai. The notary certifies document copies and validates signatures, providing the initial level of authentication.
2. State-Level Authentication
The second step varies based on the document type:
Educational Documents:
Authentication by the Maharashtra Higher Education Department or Human Resource Development (HRD) Department located at Mantralaya or the designated state education authorities.
Personal Documents:
Authentication by the Maharashtra Home Department located at Mantralaya or relevant municipal authorities.
Commercial Documents:
Authentication by the Mumbai Chamber of Commerce or other recognized commercial bodies.
3. MEA Attestation
After state-level authentication, documents require attestation from the Ministry of External Affairs. The MEA provides two types of authentication:
Apostille:
For documents intended for use in Hague Convention member countries.
Normal Attestation:
For documents intended for use in non-Hague Convention countries. The MEA does not accept documents directly from individuals. All documents must be submitted through authorized service providers.
4. Embassy or Consulate Attestation
For countries not part of the Hague Convention (like UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait), documents need additional attestation from the respective country’s embassy in India.
Attestation for Educational Certificates in Mumbai
If you have an educational qualification – such as a degree certificate, diploma, school leaving certificate, or transcript – that needs to be used abroad (for job or higher studies), you will require educational certificate attestation in Mumbai. We specialize in attesting all educational documents.
1. Notary Attestation
A local notary in Mumbai will verify and stamp the certificate copy, confirming it’s a true copy of the original. (We arrange this as a preliminary step.)
2. State HRD or Home Department Attestation
The Department of Higher Education (HRD) or Home Department (Mantralaya) of Maharashtra authenticates the educational document. They often verify the certificate’s authenticity with the issuing university or board before stamping it. This state-level attestation (sometimes called Mantralaya attestation in Mumbai for Maharashtra-issued documents) confirms the degree is genuine.
3. MEA Attestation / Apostille
Next, the document goes for central MEA attestation. If your destination country is a Hague member, we obtain an MEA apostille on the degree; otherwise, MEA normal attestation is done.
4. Embassy Attestation (if required)
For non-apostille countries, the final step is getting the attested educational certificate legalized by the relevant foreign embassy/consulate in India.
We manage this entire chain for you. For instance, if you need to attest a Mumbai University degree for use in the UAE, we will get the notary and state HRD attestation, then MEA, then the UAE Embassy attestation – delivering a fully attested degree certificate to you. Distance-learning or university diplomas from outside Maharashtra can also be handled: if your document was issued in another Indian state, our network will obtain the necessary state authentication from the concerned state’s HRD department and then complete the remaining steps in Mumbai/Delhi as needed.
Common educational documents we attest: Degree certificates (BA, BSc, B.Com, BE/B.Tech, MA, MSc, M.Tech, MBA, etc.), diplomas, mark sheets/transcripts, school certificates (SSC, HSC), professional course certificates, and more.

Embassy Attestation
- Required for non-Hague Convention countries
- Involves MEA attestation followed by authentication from the respective country’s embassy
