Sri Lanka document attestation from India is an embassy attestation steps, Sri Lanka is not a Hague Apostille Convention member. The standard sequence 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.
Start with a checklist scan
Most Sri Lanka work are tied to employment paperwork 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 case. 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 steps.

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.
