Overview

What is MEA Attestation?

The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) is the Government of India authority for foreign relations. MEA Attestation verifies Indian documents for use abroad, including:

  • Employment & Work Visa
  • Higher Education & Scholarships
  • Migration & Permanent Residency
  • Family Visa (Marriage/Birth Certificates)
  • Business Setup & Trade Licenses
For Hague Apostille Convention member countries (120+), an Apostille replaces traditional MEA attestation.
Why it Matters in 2025
  • ~2.9M Indians migrate annually for work, studyor business.
  • 71% of professionals to the Gulf require MEA-attested documents.
  • 1 in 5 visa applications face delays due to unauthorized/incorrect attestation.
  • Gulf countries routinely reject documents without MEA verification.
