Kathmandu: Minister for Foreign Affairs Hon. Shisir Khanal officially launched the Nepal e-Attestation System (NEATS), developed by the Department of Consular Services on August 6.
Addressing the launching ceremony, the Minister underscored the importance of digitalising consular services and expressed confidence that NEATS would make services easier, more accessible, transparent and predictable, while modernising service delivery in line with international best practices.
Following the implementation of NEATS from 1 Bhadra 2083 (17 August 2026), applicants will be able to apply for consular attestation online, track their application status, make payments and book an appointment before visiting the Department. The system is expected to minimise processing delays and make the service more efficient, transparent and service-friendly.
