Notary Services
Affidavits, agreements & declarations — certified same-day+
What it is
Certification of a document by a Notary Public under the Notaries Act, 1952 — verifying identity, witnessing signatures, and giving affidavits, agreements and declarations legal standing in India.
Who needs it
- Individuals signing affidavits — name change, address, income declaration
- Businesses executing rent deeds, agreements or partnership deeds
- Applicants for passports, visas or government schemes
- Property buyers/sellers needing notarised sale agreements or POA
Our process
Bring the original document and a photocopy — we draft or review the wording, witness the signing, and apply the notary stamp the same day, at any of our Delhi locations.
SDM Attestation
Sub-Divisional Magistrate verification, before Apostille+
What it is
A government-level verification at the SDM office (Revenue Department) that authenticates educational certificates, birth certificates and affidavits — usually a required step before MEA Apostille or Embassy Attestation.
When it's required
- Before MEA Apostille on birth, marriage or death certificates
- Educational document attestation where HRD verification isn't mandatory
- Affidavits needing magistrate-level legal recognition
Our role
We manage scrutiny, form filling, submission at the correct jurisdictional SDM office, tracking and collection — so you skip the queues entirely.
MEA Apostille Attestation
For Hague Convention countries — one-step legalisation+
What it is
A certificate issued by the Ministry of External Affairs authenticating documents for use in Hague Apostille Convention member countries — no further embassy attestation needed once apostilled.
Who needs it
- Students heading to Germany, France, Netherlands, Spain and other Hague-member countries
- Professionals relocating for overseas jobs
- Applicants for PR, marriage registration abroad or dependent visas
- Companies apostilling commercial documents
Documents we handle
Degree certificates, mark sheets, birth/marriage certificates, PCC, affidavits, medical certificates, commercial invoices, Power of Attorney, incorporation documents.
Our process
Eligibility check → state-level HRD/SDM/Home Department pre-attestation → MEA submission → tracking & quality check → doorstep delivery.
MEA Attestation
For non-Apostille countries — UAE, Saudi, Qatar & Gulf nations+
What it is
For countries outside the Hague Convention — such as UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Kuwait — documents require MEA Attestation followed by Embassy Attestation of the destination country, not an apostille.
Common use cases
- Employment visas for Gulf countries — UAE, Saudi, Qatar, Oman, Bahrain, Kuwait
- Family and dependent visas
- Foreign university recognition in non-Hague countries
- Commercial document legalisation for trade and business setup abroad
We manage the complete chain — state attestation, MEA attestation, and coordination for embassy attestation — under one roof.
Embassy Attestation
The final legalisation layer for non-Hague countries+
What it is
After MEA attestation, certain countries require final legalisation by their Embassy or Consulate in India — the last authentication step confirming validity for use in that country.
Embassies we assist with
UAE, Saudi, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman, Bahrain and other diplomatic missions based in Delhi (via authorised channels).
Why it can't be skipped
Many visa and job applications are rejected simply because embassy attestation was missed after MEA. We ensure the correct sequence — SDM/HRD → MEA → Embassy — every time.
Certified Translation Services
Italian · French · Russian · Arabic · Spanish & more+
Why certified translation matters
Embassies, universities and government departments require documents translated into the destination language — but only a certified translation, carrying a signed accuracy declaration and often notarisation, is accepted.
Languages we cover
- Italian — study/work visas, family reunification, consulate submissions
- French — Campus France applications, work permits, embassy requirements
- Russian — education, business and visa documentation
- Arabic — Gulf employment, family and legal documents
- Spanish — study, migration and business documentation
- German, Portuguese, Chinese, Japanese and Korean — available on request
Every translation is done by experienced linguists, then notarised and attested as required by your destination.
First Class Magistrate Attestation
Judicial-level certification for legal declarations+
What it is
A First Class Judicial Magistrate can attest affidavits, declarations and specific legal documents requiring judicial-level certification — a step above standard notarisation.
When it's required
- Legal affidavits for court submissions
- Declarations required in specific visa or immigration cases
- Documents needing judicial verification beyond notary level
We coordinate appointment scheduling and document preparation, so you don't navigate court procedure alone.
Legal Drafting Services
Affidavits, agreements, POA, wills & deeds+
What we draft
- Affidavits — name change, address, income, marital status
- Rent and lease agreements
- Power of Attorney — General & Special
- Partnership deeds and MOUs
- Sale deeds and property agreements
- Wills and family settlement documents, legal notices
Poorly worded legal documents are frequently rejected by authorities, banks or courts. Our drafting is kept compliant with current legal formats to reduce rejection and dispute risk.
HRD Attestation
Human Resource Development Dept. — educational documents+
What it is
Required for educational documents, carried out by the state HRD (or equivalent education) department where the certificate was issued — confirming the institution/board is recognised, and often a mandatory pre-step before MEA apostille or attestation.
Who needs it
- Students applying to foreign universities
- Professionals seeking employment abroad based on qualifications
- Applicants for skill-based visas requiring degree verification
We handle HRD attestation for documents issued in Delhi as well as other states, managing the full inter-state process.
Home Department Attestation
State-level verification for personal documents+
What it is
A state government-level verification, typically required for birth, marriage and death certificates before they proceed to MEA apostille or attestation — confirming the document was issued by a genuine, recognised authority.
When you'll need this
- Before apostille of marriage, birth or death certificates
- Spousal or dependent visa applications
- Family visa sponsorship documentation abroad
Visa Stamping Assistance
Document sets matched to embassy checklists+
While visa approval rests with the embassy, your supporting documents — attested certificates, translated papers, notarised affidavits, financial documents — decide whether you sail through or face delays. We prepare your complete document set for:
- Work visas — Gulf countries, Europe
- Student visas — Europe, Russia and other destinations
- Dependent/family visas
- Business and trade visas
We don't process the visa itself — we make sure your document package is fully compliant before you submit it, cutting rejection risk significantly.
Gazette Publication
Legal name, DOB & address change notification+
What it is
An official government publication recording changes such as name change, date of birth correction, or address change — giving it legal recognition across India.
Common reasons
- Legal name change — personal or after marriage
- Correction of spelling errors in official name
- Change of surname, or religion/gender declarations as per applicable law
Our process
Affidavit drafting → newspaper publication (as required) → application submission to the Gazette of India office → follow-up until the official notification is issued.

Before you ask, we've answered.
What is the difference between MEA Apostille and MEA Attestation?+
Apostille is for countries under the Hague Convention — a single-step certification. Attestation is for non-Hague countries and requires an additional embassy attestation step after MEA.
Do I need HRD attestation before MEA apostille for my degree certificate?+
In most cases, yes — educational documents require HRD/state education department attestation before MEA apostille or attestation.
How long does the attestation process take?+
Timelines vary by document type and destination country. SDM and Notary services are often same-day, while MEA apostille and embassy attestation typically take a few working days depending on department processing.
Can I get certified translation and attestation done together?+
Yes. We provide translation, notarisation and attestation as a combined service, so your document is fully ready for embassy or university submission.
Is Gazette publication mandatory for a name change?+
Not always mandatory for every use case, but it provides the strongest official proof of name change and is often required for passport, visa and international document purposes.
Do you provide doorstep document pickup in Delhi?+
Yes — pickup and delivery is available across Delhi and NCR for added convenience.
Which countries require Embassy Attestation instead of Apostille?+
Primarily GCC countries — UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman and Bahrain — along with a few other non-Hague member nations.
