Certificate attestation is a crucial process of verifying the authenticity of academic, personal, or professional documents. It involves obtaining an official stamp or signature from designated authorities, confirming the certificate’s legitimacy. This attestation is often required for international purposes, such as applying for a job or pursuing higher education abroad. The process varies by country and typically involves government and embassy approvals to ensure document credibility.

For the attestation of academic certificates in Oman, obtaining authentication from the local Human Resource Department (HRD) is mandatory. Following HRD attestation, these documents require the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) stamp (apostille) to be considered valid.
In the case of non-academic papers such as marriage certificates, birth certificates, and experience certificates, the initial step involves Notary Attestation. Subsequently, for attestation of salary, birth, or marriage certificates in Oman, Notary Attestation must be followed by authentication from the Sub Divisional Magistrate’s office (SDM).
