Yemen Embassy attestation: the short answer
Yemen Embassy attestation is the legalisation that the Embassy of the Republic of Yemen in New Delhi puts on an Indian document after the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) has attested it. Yemen is not a member of the Hague Apostille Convention, so an apostille is not accepted; the MEA attestation plus the Embassy stamp is what Yemeni offices look for.
Documents fall into three groups. Education and non-education documents go Notary → SDM → MEA → Yemen Embassy; commercial documents go Chamber of Commerce → MEA → Yemen Embassy. Yemeni offices work in Arabic, so they often ask for an Arabic translation; we arrange it and attest it with the original.
The MEA fee is ₹50 per document. For a commercial document the Yemen Embassy fee is ₹13,000 – ₹16,000 per document; for education and non-education documents the Embassy charge comes in your written quote. WhatsApp the document on +91-8595558517 to start.
Why documents for Yemen need embassy attestation
Yemen has not joined the 1961 Hague Apostille Convention; it was not on the HCCH status table when we checked in October 2026. An Indian apostille therefore does not make a document valid in Yemen, and a file sent with only an apostille is likely to be returned by the receiving office.
Yemen relies on consular legalisation. The MEA confirms the Indian stamps, and the Embassy of Yemen in New Delhi confirms the MEA. Because conditions in Yemen can change at short notice, we confirm the Embassy’s current requirements before we quote.

What a Yemen Embassy attested document looks like
This is a real Yemen Embassy attestation completed by INFINITYGRO. The document first received the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) attestation in New Delhi and then the legalisation stamp of the Embassy of Yemen, New Delhi. When your document comes back, check it against these points:
- The first Indian stamp (notary with SDM, or Chamber of Commerce for company papers) is on the document
- The MEA attestation stamp carries the signing officer’s name and the date
- The Embassy of Yemen stamp shows its number and date, and sits after the MEA stamp
- If a translation was attested, it is attached to the original and carries the same chain of stamps
Yemen Embassy attestation fees and charges
Every stamp is charged per document, so your total depends on the number and type of documents and whether a translation is needed.
| MEA attestation (government fee) | ₹50 per document |
|---|---|
| Notary and SDM (education / non-education) | Included in the written quote |
| Chamber of Commerce (commercial) | The chamber’s own fee; included in the written quote |
| Yemen Embassy legalisation: commercial document | ₹13,000 – ₹16,000 per document, depending on the document |
| Yemen Embassy legalisation: education / non-education | Confirmed in your written quote |
| Arabic translation | Quoted per document when the receiving office asks for it |
| INFINITYGRO service charge | Quoted per document in writing before you send anything |
| Courier | Extra, both ways |
The Embassy decides its own charges and can revise them, so the figure in your written quote is the one that applies when you send the documents. Each document is charged separately: an export set of invoice, packing list and certificate of origin is three commercial documents.
- Commercial documents carry the higher Embassy fee (₹13,000 – ₹16,000 each) and a chamber fee.
- Translation adds a translation charge and its own stamps.
- Number of documents: a degree, transcript and migration certificate are three documents.
- Deadline: tell us your travel or joining date at the start.
How long Yemen Embassy attestation takes
The time depends on the first stamp, the MEA stage, the Embassy’s processing and, where needed, the translation. Courier days at both ends are extra.
We give the expected date in your written quote and confirm on WhatsApp after the MEA and Embassy stamps. Students planning to fly home should start well before their ticket date.
Documents required for Yemen Embassy attestation

Tips before you send documents for Yemen
- Ask about translation before you send. Doing the Arabic translation in the same file is quicker than sending the documents twice.
- Students: collect everything from the university first. Degree, final marksheets and migration certificate should all be in hand before attestation.
- Names in Arabic and English. Make sure the English spelling on the degree matches the passport; the translator follows the passport.
- Exporters: one consignee everywhere. The invoice, packing list and certificate of origin must show the same buyer and invoice number.
- Do not laminate originals. Stamps cannot be placed on laminated documents.
