Bahrain requirements

What your documents need for Bahrain

Many people still search for Bahrain embassy attestation, but for Indian documents the route is the MEA apostille. Bahrain has been a member of the Apostille Convention for years, and an apostilled document does not need a further embassy stamp.

As always, the state step comes first: HRD for educational documents, SDM or Home Department for personal documents and the Chamber of Commerce for commercial documents. Some Bahraini authorities also want an Arabic translation, which we can arrange.
