|
Required for certain documents (e.g., Power of Attorney, marriage certificates) when the document is to be used in a foreign country.
For NRIs: If a document is signed outside India (e.g., POA), it needs to be attested by the respective country's embassy or MOFA (Ministry of Foreign Affairs). This is mandatory in some cases.

Foreign Government Requirements

In some cases, documents must be attested by the relevant embassy of the country where the document is to be used (e.g., in cases where the NRI is dealing with legal matters in a foreign country). This is especially relevant if the document originates in India but needs to be presented abroad.
