Getting documents attested from a country involves a multistep process that verifies the authenticity and validity of the certificate. The attestation process includes obtaining stamps from local officials, state government, and central government, and the respective embassy or MEA stamp. Personal documents such as educational certificates, marriage certificates, birth certificates require embassy attestation, while commercial documents such as invoices, certificates of origin, and packing lists need to be attested by the respective embassy for overseas business or exports. The time limit for attestation depends on the document type and issued place, but fast-track options are available.
