What is the attestation process for Indian documents used in Qatar?

What is HRD attestation?
HRD attestation is the common name for verification of educational certificates by the state education department in India. It is usually the first official stage for Indian degrees and school certificates.
What is MEA attestation?
MEA attestation is the authentication of documents by India’s Ministry of External Affairs, after state-level verification. It comes before the Qatar embassy stage.
Can I attest Indian documents while living in Qatar?
Yes. You do not have to travel; the Indian stages are handled in India and the final MOFA stage in Doha. We arrange the steps and keep you updated.
Do procedures differ between Indian states?
Yes. Each state has its own department and procedure for verification, so timelines can differ. We confirm the steps for your state before starting.
Do I need an Arabic translation as well?
If the receiving office in Qatar asks for Arabic, a certified translation is added after attestation. Our sister company TrustLink Translation handles Hindi, Malayalam, Tamil and other Indian languages.
