Document attestation is the process of converting a document from one legal jurisdiction to another. It is a procedure that is often required to authenticate documents of people who are emigrating or traveling abroad. The procedure is carried out by an authorized institution in the receiving country and provides the emigrating party with the necessary paperwork to be presented to their host country.

Once a certificate is attested, it should be verified by the foreign authority to be valid there. These procedures, called attestation, generally occur at the country’s embassy and can be thought about as the final step in the attestation process.
