Passport Copy Attestation

Attestation of Passport Copy in India: Process and Costs.

A passport copy is a photocopy of your passport’s front and last page. When you are moving abroad in countries like UAE, Qatar, China etc, an attested passport copy is needed for various purposes. It can be needed when applying for visas, immigration, or other official purposes. The main reason why passport copy is generally used abroad is that carrying your original passport everywhere can be inconvenient and risky. So, having an attested photocopy is a safe and reliable alternative. But you cannot directly use your passport copy — it needs an attestation. A passport copy attestation is an important procedure that validates the authenticity of your passport copy. Discover the whole process below along with the costs and timeline associated with it.

Passport Copy Attestation Process

There are 4 steps of verification to make your passport copy usable abroad.

Step 1: Notarization is Important for the Passport Copy
It all begins with notarization, a formal process where a notary public checks your Passport Copy. A notary public is an official who witnesses the signing of documents and ensures their authenticity. Your Passport Copy needs to be verified by the notary public before it can proceed to the next steps.
The second stage of the attestation process involves taking your passport copy to your state’s Home Department for verification. Depending on the embassy’s visa requirements, you might also need verification from the Sub-Divisional Magistrate (SDM), which can be faster than the Home Department.
The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) handles the verification of your Passport Copy in India. You need to submit your state-approved passport copy to the MEA, which will then verify them. After verification, the MEA will stamp your passport copy, making it ready for the final attestation at the embassy.
Foreign embassies in India, such as in Mumbai and Delhi, are known for the attestation process. You need to submit your MEA-stamped document to the embassy, where they will verify its authenticity. Once confirmed, they will add their stamp or seal, making them usable abroad.

Fees & Time for Attestation Process

The processing time for embassy attestation of a Passport Copy typically ranges from 3 to 7 working days, but it can be shorter or longer depending on various factors. Fees vary depending on your destination country and can range from 3000 to 6000 INR.
