Mbabane – The High Commission of India in Mbabane has announced the rollout of the Ministry of External Affairs SEWA Indian Consular Services System starting 01 April 2026, a move aimed at streamlining access to consular services for Indian nationals and foreign residents in Eswatini.
According to a press release issued on 25 March 2026, the digital platform forms part of the Government of India’s Digital India programme designed to deliver a seamless, paperless and user friendly process for consular services. The initiative is expected to benefit members of the Indian diaspora living in the Kingdom as well as emaSwati and other foreign nationals who require Indian consular documentation.
During the initial phase, the SEWA portal will handle several miscellaneous services including attestation of civil documents, attestation of power of attorney, certificate for registration of birth, certificate for registration of death and driving license attestation certificate. 
The portal will be accessible online from 01 April 2026 at http://indianconsularservices.mea.gov.in. The High Commission has urged clients to familiarise themselves with the new system to ensure a smooth transition from previous processes.
In a related development, the High Commission of India in Mbabane will host a doubt clearing session on ICCR Scholarships for prospective students. The session is scheduled to take place at Manzini Club on Sunday, 29 March from 1000 to 1300 hours. Students seeking clarity on the application process have been invited to attend.
Further details and user guidelines on the SEWA portal are available on the mission’s official website at https://hcimbabane.gov.in. Members of the public may also contact the Consular Section on +268 2410 1621 or via email at inf.mbabane@mea.gov.in and cons.mbabane@mea.gov.in for assistance.
