MEA Apostille for Oman

Oman MEA Apostille Services in India

Taking an Indian certificate to Oman for a job, a family visa, study or a company? Oman has been in the Apostille Convention since 2012, so the document needs an MEA Apostille: the state, then the Ministry of External Affairs of India. No stamp of the Embassy of Oman is added in India. We collect your documents, take them through each office and return them to you.

Good to know

  • Apostille, not embassy attestation

    Oman has been in the Apostille Convention since 2012. The MEA Apostille is the last step in India: no stamp of the Embassy of Oman is added.

  • Two ways to the MEA

    An educational certificate reaches the MEA through the HRD of the state or through notary and SDM. Only the first step differs. The Apostille is the same.

  • Personal and commercial documents

    A personal document goes through the Home Department of the state, a commercial document through the Chamber of Commerce. The MEA Apostille follows each.
