What Does an MEA Apostille Certificate Verify?

An MEA apostille authenticates the origin of an eligible public document. It verifies the signature, the signer's official capacity and any relevant seal or stamp. It does not certify the document's content or legal effect.

Country where the document originated
Name appearing as the official signer
Capacity in which the signer acted
Seal or stamp linked to the authority
Place and date of apostille issuance
Certificate number and issuing authority details

Check issued apostilles through the e-Sanad e-Register.

What Affects Online MEA Apostille Processing Time?

Online MEA Apostille processing begins with document verification. Records held by an integrated issuing authority may follow e-Sanad, while other documents may need state, university, notarial or Chamber of Commerce authentication before final MEA processing.

Document availability in an approved repository
Response time of the issuing authority
Personal, educational or commercial document category
Accuracy of names, dates and registration details
Need for prior state-level authentication
Collection, submission and return-delivery arrangements

Verified documents received by MEA generally take two to three working days.

What Is Required for MEA Apostille Services?

Physical submissions generally require the original document or eligible true copy, a document photocopy and a passport copy. Requirements vary by document category, issuing authority, verification route and overseas recipient.

Original document or eligible certified copy
Clear photocopy of the submitted document
Photocopy of the applicant's valid passport
Prior authentication, when officially required
Matching names, dates, signatures and seals
Supporting records requested for verification

Check e-Sanad eligibility before sending original documents.
