Death certificate attestation services are an essential requirement for families and legal heirs who wish to use a deceased person’s records abroad.

Our goal is to provide a hassle-free, transparent, and quick service so that families can manage their legal obligations abroad without unnecessary delays.
What is Death Certificate Attestation?
A Death Certificate Apostille is the process of authenticating a government-issued death certificate with a unique apostille sticker from the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), Government of India. This sticker confirms the document's authenticity and legal validity for use in over 100 countries that are members of the Hague Apostille Convention.
This certification avoids the need for additional attestation from the embassy of the destination country.
Why Death Certificate Attestation is Important
A death certificate must be attested for it to be legally valid abroad. In addition, attestation helps families manage property, inheritance, and financial claims smoothly. For example, when applying for pension transfers or insurance settlements in the UAE or Saudi Arabia, embassies will only accept attested documents.
Moreover, attestation is essential for immigration cases, especially when applying for dependent visas or sponsorship cancellations. Similarly, courts abroad may require attested certificates for ongoing legal matters. As a result, having your documents attested in advance saves time and prevents rejections.
