The attestation process ensures the document is officially recognised and valid for its intended purpose. This involves verifying its authenticity and ensuring it meets the legal requirements of the receiving country. For Kenyans, this often means navigating between Kenyan and German bureaucratic systems, which can be time-consuming and confusing without expert support.
