Hope India implements similar digital services for all document attestations. The current process for getting certificates attested through MEA is still quite bureaucratic and time-consuming.

While this is great, I hope they ensure proper security measures for digital attestations. Digital documents can be vulnerable to fraud if not properly secured.
