Official MEA Attestation Certificates for WES, IQAS, ECE & More
Get authentic, university-issued MEA Attestation certificates from any Indian university. FACTS coordinates directly with university registrars to procure official MEA Attestation certificates accepted by credential evaluation bodies worldwide.
MEA attestation is authentication by India’s Ministry of External Affairs, the central government body that verifies documents for use abroad. The MEA stamp confirms that the prior State-level or notary attestation on your document is legitimate. It is a mandatory step before embassy attestation, and is required for employment visas, higher education, and family visas in most countries.

MEA (Ministry of External Affairs) attestation is the central-level verification of Indian documents by the Government of India, confirming their authenticity for use abroad. It is the second-to-last step before apostille or embassy attestation.
No. Apostille is a type of MEA attestation used for Hague member countries (a sticker with an MEA seal). Regular MEA attestation (a stamp) is used for non-Hague countries that then require embassy attestation.
Educational documents need HRD or notary/SDM attestation first, personal documents need Home Department or SDM attestation, and commercial documents need Chamber of Commerce attestation before MEA will attest them.
Since 2012, MEA no longer accepts documents directly from individuals. All documents must be submitted through MEA-outsourced agencies like us to ensure smooth processing.
After the state-level step is complete, MEA attestation or apostille is normally completed in 2 to 5 working days. Total timeline including state attestation is 7 to 15 working days.
MEA charges Rs. 50 per apostille sticker but no fee for normal attestation. The overall cost includes state-level fees, notary, courier, and our service charges, quoted upfront as a fixed package.
MEA attestation has no official expiry. However, many embassies and employers accept only attestations done within the last 3 to 6 months. Always check the receiving authority's current rule.
