A birth certificate going to Kuwait is an embassy attestation case rather than an apostille case, Kuwait is not a Hague Apostille Convention member. The sequence on a birth certificate is SDM / Deputy Commissioner or Home Department at the issuing state (depending on which state), then MEA attestation, then Kuwait Embassy attestation in New Delhi. The Kuwait Consulate in Mumbai does not handle document attestation; all Kuwait Embassy attestation in India runs through Delhi.
Start with an embassy-route scan
The most common scenarios on Kuwait-bound birth certificates are: dependent inclusion on a family residence visa where the child is being added to the sponsor's Iqama, school admission for an Indian child already in Kuwait or planning to join, civil-registration paperwork with the Kuwait Ministry of Interior, and the occasional family-court / maintenance file. The Kuwait-side comparison will look at the birth certificate against the sponsor's Iqama, the sponsor's passport, the marriage certificate (where the sponsor is the parent), and the dependent's passport, name and date consistency across all of these is the most common cause of delay.
On the India side, the municipal corporation or panchayat that issued the birth certificate has to be clearly visible. If the original is laminated, faded, or issued by an authority that has since been reorganised, a fresh certified-copy issue from the current issuing authority is the cleanest first step. Name variants between the birth certificate and the dependent's passport (initials expansion, father name format, transliteration differences) are best handled by a Tehsildar-issued One and Same Certificate before the sequence begins, not after the Kuwait Embassy step where they trigger a return.
Certified Arabic translation is commonly required by Kuwait authorities and is prepared after the full attestation steps so the seals and stamps are translated too.

How SiZA Runs the Embassy Sequence
Before any original is sent through MEA and the destination embassy, SiZA confirms the correct sequence order, the Arabic translation timing, and the MOFA expectation at the destination.
What to send first

Frequently Asked Questions
What documents are required?
The exact list depends on the file. For a degree apostille, the original degree certificate is the core document, with transcripts / consolidated marksheets, passport copy, and the destination authority's checklist as supporting. For a birth certificate apostille, the original municipal-corporation-issued certificate plus identity proof. For a marriage certificate apostille, the original registered civil certificate (Sub-Registrar / Marriage Registrar issued, not just religious ceremony). SiZA Global reviews the specific file scans on WhatsApp and confirms the exact document set required before originals move.
How long does the process take?
End-to-end timelines depend on the issuing state, university verification, document type, destination country and translation requirement. MEA apostille itself takes 2 to 4 working days, or 24 hours on urgent processing if the next day is a working day. State HRD timings vary by state, for example Maharashtra takes 25 to 35 working days, Gujarat takes 10 to 30 working days, Telangana and Andhra Pradesh take 10 to 15 working days, and Kerala takes 20 to 30 working days. For non-Hague countries, embassy and MOFA steps are added separately.
Do originals need to be submitted?
Yes. HRD, SDM, Home Department, MEA apostille, and embassy attestation are all physical-stamping processes on the original document. A scan is enough for the initial review on WhatsApp; the original is then couriered to SiZA Global (or we arrange doorstep pickup in major Indian cities) for the authority steps. The original is returned by AWB-tracked courier after completion. NRIs whose originals are with family in India can coordinate the whole process remotely, the originals never leave India for the apostille step.
What is embassy attestation?
Embassy attestation is the India-side legalisation route for countries that are NOT members of the Hague Apostille Convention, UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Libya, Egypt, and a smaller set of others. The Indian document goes through state-level authentication (SDM, HRD, Home Department, or Chamber of Commerce depending on document type), then MEA attestation, then attestation at the destination country's embassy or consulate in India. UAE MOFA attestation now also happens in India alongside the UAE Embassy step.
