- The attestation service is provided to Indian citizens. Documents submitted by other nationals will be attested only if the document is required to be submitted for a transaction in India or it originates from India. In the case of US nationals, their signatures should be first attested by the Authentication Division in the State Department and then presented to the Consulate for attestation. Other nationals should get their signature on the document attested first by their respective Embassy/Consulate
- The Power of Attorney to be attested by the Consulate should be typed on a plain paper and not on a Stamp Paper from India.
- If you are obliged to execute the Power of Attorney on a Stamp Paper from India, then please follow the ‘Apostille’ Convention. Once the ‘Apostille’ sticker is affixed to the Power of Attorney, the Consulate is not required to authenticate again the Power of Attorney
- The Consular Officer reserves the right to accept or reject attestation of documents the contents of which are objectionable or contrary to the Rules.
