Embassy and MOFA of Libya

Libya MOFA Attestation Services in India

Taking an Indian certificate to Libya for a job, study or a legal purpose? Libya is not in the Apostille Convention, so the document needs embassy attestation: the state, the Ministry of External Affairs of India and the Embassy of Libya in India. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Libya adds the last stamp once you are in Libya. We handle the steps in India: we collect your documents, take them through each office and return them to you.

What the Indian part of the attestation looks like

Before the Embassy of Libya, every document goes through the same Indian offices. This is a real certificate after them: the notary, the SDM and the MEA. The Embassy of Libya then adds its own attestation; a sample with its stamp is not shown here yet.
