The standard chain is State HRD (educational) or SDM / Home Department (civil) at the issuing state, MEA attestation in Delhi, and Sri Lankan High Commission attestation in India. English is widely accepted by Sri Lankan authorities since Indian documents are already in English; Sinhala or Tamil translation is required only by specific Sri Lankan authorities for in-country use.

Sri Lanka document attestation from India is an embassy attestation chain, Sri Lanka is not a Hague Apostille Convention member. The standard chain is State HRD (educational) or SDM / Home Department (civil) at the issuing state, MEA attestation in Delhi, and Sri Lankan High Commission attestation in India. English is widely accepted by Sri Lankan authorities since Indian documents are already in English; Sinhala or Tamil translation is required only by specific Sri Lankan authorities for in-country use.
Most Sri Lanka files are tied to employment files under Sri Lankan employers, university admissions, family-residence visas for spouses and dependents of Sri Lankan citizens or residents, and the occasional commercial or investment-residence file. Healthcare professionals heading to Sri Lanka engage the Sri Lanka Medical Council for medical licensing or the Nursing Council of Sri Lanka for nursing registration after the attestation chain.
Send a clear scan of the document set on WhatsApp +91-9220161774 with the Sri Lankan recipient named in one line (employer (and city) Colombo, Kandy, Galle, etc.), university admission, healthcare regulator, family-residence visa, or other, and the deadline. SiZA Global confirms the chain, the realistic working-day timeline for your State HRD, whether Sinhala or Tamil translation is needed for your specific receiving authority, and a written quote before originals move.

How SiZA Coordinates the Embassy Route
Before any original is sent through MEA and the destination embassy, SiZA confirms the chain order, the Arabic translation step where required, and the post-embassy MOFA expectation.
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.
