Bahrain Embassy Attestation Cost & Process Time

The initial stage is notarization. A notary public is a government-appointed person who can verify the legitimacy of signatures and documents.  The notary stamp is placed on your document to indicate that it is legitimate and not forged or altered. It is required for several papers, including contracts, wills, personal declaration forms, powers of attorney, affidavits, and more.

Once notarized, your papers go to the appropriate agency for additional verification:

• Educational Documents: Documents such as degree certificates, mark sheets, and diplomas must be approved by the Human Resource Development department. They guarantee that the issuing institution is recognized and the qualifications are genuine. 
• Personal Certificates: For personal papers such as birth and marriage certificates, your state’s Home Department offers an official stamp of verification. This certifies that the paper originated in a certain Indian state. 
• Business Documents: Commercial invoices and contracts must be authenticated by the Chamber of Commerce. This department examines the validity of the firms involved and guarantees that the papers are compliant with applicable trade legislation.

Sub-Divisional Magistrate (SDM) attestation: In some situations, your papers may require extra verification from the SDM before moving forward.

The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) is India’s top authority on overseas affairs. Their attestation is the Indian government’s official seal of approval, verifying the validity of your papers and the legality of earlier issuing bodies. Once the MEA has stamped your document, it is ready for final verification.

Bahrain’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) is responsible for visa approvals. To verify the validity and integrity of your papers, MOFA demands that they be confirmed by the Bahraini Embassy. Following MEA attestation, your papers are checked by the Bahraini embassy. Once they add an attestation mark, your documents are ready to use in Bahrain.
