Answer 3

You don't get your Indian Marriage Certificate attested from UAE Embassy,Delhi rather you get this Marriage Certificate Apostilised & then summit it for immigration purposes to UAE Embassy. What you actually require is to get all documents such as Marriage certificate,birth certificate,educational certificates etc Apostillised. All documents should be first authenticated by the designated agencies in the State from where the document has been issued. In case of personal documents like birth, death, affidavits, power of attorneys, marriage etc, Home Department/General Administration Department are the designated authorities. In case of educational documents like degree, diplomas, matriculation and secondary level certificates, State Governments have now opened Regional Authentication Centers (RACs) at various States from where the document should first be attested. Documents attested by these authorities then need to be presented to MEA for issue of Apostilles. Documents attested by these authorities then need to be presented to MEA for issue of Apostilles at Ministry of External Affairs at CPV Division, Patiala House New Delhi. Once the Apostille stickers of Rs50/- is affixed each on all these documents you can use them for VISA/Immigration purposes. This is the latest legal position with regard to any such document w.e.f.
