Qatar Certificate Attestation Procedure in Kerala
Obtaining an attestation from the Qatar Embassy in India is the requirement for the legalization of Indian documents in Qatar. However, it is not possible to directly get Qatar embassy attestation. You need to get other attestations from Indian authorities after a thorough verification process before submitting your documents for Qatar embassy attestation. In Kerala, there are two main methods of authentication for the embassy attestation procedure. They are:
- State Department Attestation Method
- SDM Attestation Method
The Indian Qatar embassy will accept documents with SDM attestation and State attestation for embassy attestation. However, sometimes certain Qatar authorities may specifically require a state-attested document with Qatar embassy attestation. You can verify the checklist of your employer or educational institution for such requirements. If it is not specified, you can go ahead with the SDM attestation method. Because it is a faster and cheaper method of authentication.
Step-by-Step Process of Qatar Embassy Attestation in Kerala
Given below are the steps Secure Apostille services follow to get Qatar embassy attestation in Kerala:
- Notarization
In this step, we will submit your document to a public notary. A notary is a government-authorized official to authenticate documents. The notary will check the document and attest it with a signature and seal. This step is the same for both the SDM and the state attestation method.
2. SDM/State Attestation
Depending on which method you have chosen, we will submit your documents either to the Sub Divisional Magistrate or the concerned state department.
The state department is either the home or HRD department of the state where the document was issued.
If the document is personal, such as birth, marriage, or death, attestation is required from the state home department. However, if it is educational documents such as a degree certificate, you need to get HRD attestation.
The HRD department will verify the authenticity of the document as well as the person who issued the document at the respective university. After verification, the ministry official entrusted with the attestation will sign the document.
The home ministry will verify the originality of the document at the office of the registrar who issued it. After verifying, the home department officials will sign it.
If you are to get an SDM attestation, it is a more straightforward process. We will submit the document to the sub-divisional magistrate. After verifying details in the document, SDM signs it.
3.MEA Attestation
