eSanad: document attestation and apostille
eSanad is the Ministry of External Affairs platform for supported document verification, attestation and apostille requests. It covers personal, educational and commercial documents where the issuing authority’s digital repository is connected. Check issuer support and the recipient’s requirement first; documents outside the supported digital route need the applicable alternative process described by the Ministry.
