Document Attestation Guidance

Summary

In India, lawyers can attest documents, but this is not equivalent to notarization. For official purposes, attestation by a Notary Public or Gazetted Officer is often required. Judges, as Gazetted Officers, can attest documents but may refuse if there are issues like incomplete documentation. For embassy matters, proper attestation is crucial. Notary Publics can be found in local courts, district offices, and some banks. Lawyers who are also Notary Publics can provide notarization services. If a college refuses to attest a degree due to disciplinary issues, legal advice may be necessary.
