Good to know

  • Embassy attestation, not apostille

    Kuwait is not a party to the Apostille Convention. An apostille is not enough: the document needs the stamp of the Embassy of Kuwait.

  • The Embassy attests the MEA's stamp

    The stamp of the Embassy of Kuwait says that it attests the signature and stamp of the Ministry of External Affairs of India. So the MEA step has to be complete first.

  • Two routes to the MEA

    An educational certificate reaches the MEA through the HRD of its state, or through notary and SDM. A personal document goes through the Home Department or the SDM. We tell you which one fits your document.
