Document Attestation Process in Nepal (University/Board to MOFA)

For international study, employment, migration, or visa purposes, educational documents issued in Nepal must be officially authenticated by relevant authorities. Below are the detailed steps from University/Board attestation to Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA):

Step 1: University / Board Attestation

The attestation process begins with the issuing University or Education Board.

Documents such as Transcripts, Mark Sheets, Provisional Certificates, Degree Certificates, and Migration Certificates are submitted to the respective authority.

What happens at this stage:

• The University/Board verifies academic records from their official database
• Student details (name, roll number, year of passing, faculty, level) are checked
• Official stamp and authorized signature are placed on each document
• This confirms that the documents are genuine and officially issued

Common Authorities Include:

• Tribhuvan University (TU)
• Purbanchal University
• Kathmandu University (KU)
• Pokhara University
• National Examination Board (NEB)
• CTEVT

Note: Without University/Board attestation, further government attestation is not possible.

Step 2: Ministry of Education (MOE) Attestation

After University/Board attestation, documents are submitted to the Ministry of Education (MOE), Nepal.

Purpose of MOE attestation:

• Confirms that the issuing University/Board is recognized by the Government of Nepal
• Re-verifies the authenticity of academic credentials
• Applies official MOE seal and signature for international validation

Key Points:

• MOE attestation is mandatory for foreign use
• Only documents already attested by the University/Board are accepted
• Processing time varies based on document type and verification workload

Step 3: Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) Attestation

MOE-attested documents are then forwarded to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) for final government authentication.

Role of MOFA:

• Certifies that documents verified by MOE are legitimate
• Applies MOFA stamp and signature
• Authorizes documents for acceptance by foreign embassies and institutions

Important Notes:

• MOFA is the final government authority in Nepal for document attestation
• MOFA attestation is required before any embassy or consular legalization
• Documents without MOE attestation are not accepted at MOFA
