Steps To Obtain Power of Attorney Attestation In India
The Power of Attorney attestation process involves the following 5 steps:
- Local Verification
- Notary Attestation
- State/SDM Attestation
- MEA Attestation
- Embassy Attestation (if applicable)
- Local Verification: Notary Public prepares and verifies the document. Then they prepare a POA which is in par with the Indian laws.
- Notary Attestation: Following local verification, the document proceeds to Notary Public Offices or Collectors’ offices. Officials review and analyze the document, placing a Notary Stamp if everything is in order.
- State/SDM Attestation: After Notary Attestation, the document is prepared for State Attestation or SDM (Sub-Divisional Magistrate) Attestation. The choice between State and SDM attestation depends on preferences, with SDM attestation being a quicker and more cost-effective option.
- State Attestation: State authorities conduct a comprehensive review, involving multiple government authorities. This process is more time-consuming and costly, taking at least 30 working days.
- SDM Attestation: A faster and cost-effective alternative, taking about 3-4 days, suitable for those needing Embassy Attestation.
- MEA Attestation: The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) India, a central government authority, verifies the document’s authenticity. Upon successful verification, the MEA places a stamp or signature on the back of the Power of Attorney document.
- Embassy Attestation: The embassy of the respective country will attest your document with a seal. For example, if the document is to be used in Thailand, Thailand embassy in India attests it.
If the POA is to be submitted to a Hague Apostille Country, an apostille stamp from MEA India is required instead of embassy attestation. thus, there is no need to go to embassy.
