If you want a qualified and valid opinion, it is my suggestion that you contact the NRI Department and receive proper guidance. Some documents depending on their use require notarization and attestation by an Officer of the rank of Under Secretary to Government of Goa. I witnessed this happening a number of times when these documents were to be produced at foreign Embassies and Courts etc. Better to be safe than sorry as a mistake could waste valuable time and effort. For the benefit of those interested in communicating with the NRI department, the phone numbers are +91 832 2419460/ 61. The Director Mr. U. D. Kamat or his assistant Christopher will pick up the phone. Tuesday is not a very nice day to call. Email clarification may be sought from commissionernri_...@rediffmail.com and lokseva...@rediffmail.com
AFAIK, the service is prompt and helpful. -- "Tony de Sa" < tonydesa at gmail dot com>
