Document authentication is the official process of confirming that a document — and the signatures, seals, or certifications on it — are genuine. For documents used internationally, authentication is a multi-step process: a registered Notary Public authenticates signatures and document content, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) authenticates the Notary's seal, and the destination country's embassy confirms the MoFA stamp. Hamro Notary manages every step of this authentication chain from our Chabahil office.
Authentication differs from simple notarisation in that it establishes a complete chain of verified authority — each institution confirms the legitimacy of the institution that came before it. This chain is required by foreign governments, multinational employers, immigration authorities, and courts that need to be certain a document issued in Nepal is genuine before acting on it. Without a proper authentication chain, documents may be rejected, causing delays, financial loss, and missed deadlines.
Hamro Notary has authenticated documents for clients moving to Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom, the United States, Germany, Japan, South Korea, the UAE, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and dozens of other destinations. We know the exact authentication requirements of each country and embassy, and we guide you through the correct process for your specific documents and destination — saving you the time and uncertainty of navigating the system alone.
