About Document Attestation & Legalization
Your paperwork becomes your new pehchan (identity) when you step outside India. Getting all the right stamps and approvals? Honestly, it’s stressful and easy to mess up if you don’t know the drill. I’m a vakil sahab (lawyer), so I handle these nitty-gritty steps every day.
What I Actually Do
- Sort out MEA apostille certificate work for countries in the Hague Convention.
- Handle embassy attestation process for places that don’t accept apostille. Every embassy has its own rules - I know them.
- Take care of notary attestation for immigration, educational, personal, or business papers.
- Provide Oath Commissioner services if you need affidavits or legal declarations.
Who Usually Needs This?
- Students applying for universities outside India.
- Folks who’ve got jobs abroad and need to prove their credentials.
- Families getting immigration papers sorted.
- Businesses needing commercial document legalization for international deals.
How I Work
Every country and document type has its own quirks. Yeh process kaafi confusing ho sakta hai (it can get pretty confusing), even for seasoned people. I’ll walk you through what’s really needed, step by step, so you’re never lost in paperwork.
No false promises - sometimes it’s a waiting game, sometimes it’s quick. But you’ll always know what’s happening with your documents.

My Story
Namaste, I’m Advocate Neelam Sharma. ‘Pehchan to khud banani padti hai’ (identity, you gotta make it yourself). Law is my pride, that ‘Vakil Sahab’ waala raub (prestige) hits different.
