Planning to live, work, or study abroad? Nepali documents often require verification for official use in other countries. This process, known as MOFA Attestation, ensures the authenticity of your documents by having the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) in Kathmandu verify the issuing authority's seals and signatures. Notary Nepal can streamline this process for you.
Understanding MOFA Attestation in Nepal
Nepal is not a signatory to the Hague Convention. Therefore, documents issued in Nepal cannot be apostilled. Instead, they require a process known as MOFA Attestation. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) in Kathmandu verifies the authenticity of official seals and signatures on public documents intended for use abroad.
The MOFA Attestation Process:
MOFA attestation is a crucial step in ensuring your Nepalese documents are recognized in other countries. Here's a breakdown of the process:
- Initial Verification: The document is first verified by the issuing authority in Nepal. For example, the Ministry of Education would verify academic certificates.
- MOFA Attestation: The verified document is then submitted to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) in Kathmandu. MOFA verifies the authenticity of the issuing authority's seal and signature.
