Birth Certificate Attestation is the process of verifying and validating the authenticity of a birth certificate by the concerned authorities. It is commonly required when individuals need to use their birth certificates in a foreign country for various purposes such as education, employment, immigration, or legal matters.
The attestation process involves obtaining an official endorsement or stamp from designated authorities, usually the home country's Ministry of External Affairs or Foreign Affairs, as well as the embassy or consulate of the country where the document will be used. The attestation confirms that the birth certificate is genuine, issued by the appropriate authority, and holds legal validity.
The purpose of Birth Certificate Attestation is to ensure that the document is recognized and accepted by foreign governments, institutions, and organizations.
