Translation, MOFA, and chain ordering

For Gulf employment visas, GAMCA medical centres usually issue Gulf-side accepted certificates directly, these do not need additional Indian embassy attestation. But employer-mandated medicals issued by Indian hospitals (typically for family visa, school admission, or visa renewal) do need embassy attestation.

The embassy attestation chain for medical certificates is: Notary → MEA → Destination Embassy (Saudi, UAE, Qatar, Kuwait). Sometimes a Chamber of Commerce step is added if the certificate is from a private hospital and the embassy treats it as a commercial document.

Each Gulf embassy has slightly different acceptance rules for medical certificates, Saudi Culture and Saudi Embassy can have different requirements, as can UAE MOFA versus emirate-level authorities. Confirm with scan review before originals move.

How SiZA Runs the Embassy Chain
Before any original is sent through MEA and the destination embassy, SiZA confirms the correct chain order, the Arabic translation timing, and the MOFA expectation at the destination.
What to send first
Review the requirement
Share the document scan, destination country, purpose, deadline, and where the original document is currently kept.
Confirm the right process
SiZA checks whether the file needs apostille, embassy attestation, HRD/Home, Chamber, translation, visa documentation, or a combined process.
Handle and update
Once the scope is clear, the file moves through the required steps with practical updates by WhatsApp or email.
Proof and return
After completion, SiZA shares completion proof, confirms payment and courier preference, then packs and dispatches the document safely.

Frequently Asked Questions
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.
