Certificate authentication or attestation is needed when any Indian resident is planning to go to a foreign country for job, business or higher studies. If the country where the person is going to use the documents is a non-member of Hague Convention then the documents need Legalization done by the respective country Embassy and if the country where the documents have to be used is the member of the Hague convention then only Apostille will do.
What about documents to be used in UAE
UAE is a non-member of the Hague convention. All the documents that a person is going to use in UAE need legalization and apostille will not do. Since 5 years, the certification attestation done from HRD Delhi office has been closed and now the work has been distributed to the Home department of each of the states.
The two types of certificates that need attestation from India are of two types- educational certificates and non-educational certificates. To have the educational certification authentication, one can opt for different ways. The processes have chain of activities. The UAE authorities focus on the attestation or authentication done by the MEA (Ministry of Foreign Affairs) locally (at Dubai, Sharjah , Abu Dhabi) but to have this done other attestation are needed.
