By
doing certificate
authentication, any
education, non-educational or any other certificate gets legalized by
the respective embassy or consulate in India. In case the citizen of
India need to get attestation for the documents to be used in UAE
then the person has to submit them to the UAE embassy or consulate in
Delhi. But before these certificates get submitted to the consulate
or embassy they must be attested by the Ministry of External Affairs
and the respective Home Department of the particular state to which
these documents belong. The procedure of authentication depends on
the type of the document. In some cases, the certificates get
attested by Notary before they get submitted to the Home Department
and in some cases they are to be attested from the respective embassy
before sent to the home department.
Why
is certificate authentication necessary?
When
any legal document has to be presented in a foreign country then it
becomes very difficult for them to make out if these documents are
genuine or forged so the foreign authorities like to get the proof
that these documents that are submitted by the Indian citizens to be
used for various purposes are genuine. They may want to check out the
signatures of the Indian Officials on the documents which depicts
that these are the actual ones. The Indian citizens may need to
submit the documents for the reasons like job, higher studies,
business, residence visa etc.
The
process of certificate authentication
The
process of certification
authentication or
legalization needs to go through various levels of departments. The
first step starts from the home department of states and then the
documents reach the Central Government offices, Ministry of External
Affairs, and at the end the authentication has to be done from India
( in case of Indian citizens) or the country of origin from where the
certificates got issued.
The
certificates to be attested for the employment visa
For
employment visa the highest educational qualification document has to
be attested. It is not necessary to get the other educational
documents attested unless mentioned or needed otherwise. For some
specific jobs, the post graduation qualification, graduation
certificates may also be needed to be authenticated. Actually it
depends on the nature of the job and the requirements needed by a
particular employer.
The
documents to be authenticated for student visa or spouse visa
For
getting the student visa all educational certificates and mark sheets
starting from class 10th are to be attested by the respective
authorities. For the spouse or family visa, the marriage certificate
and the birth certificate are the required documents to be attested
by the respective authorities in India. As compared to the
educational certificates, the non-educational certificate
authentication
can be done easily. They must be first attested from the Ministry of
External Affairs in India and sent to the concerned Embassy for
further proceeding. It is always better to look for a certified
agent or service provider who can help the person in arranging and
submitting these documents to get the work done fast, hassle-free and
at the most competitive rate.
