The process begins by identifying the type of document you need apostilled—whether it's educational, personal, or commercial. The document must be original and issued by an authorized institution. Before it can be apostilled, it typically requires initial verification, like notarization or authentication by a state-level department such as HRD, Home, or Chamber of Commerce.
-
Once verified, the document is submitted to the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), where an official apostille sticker or stamp is affixed, confirming the document’s authenticity for use in member countries of the Hague Convention. There's no need for embassy attestation beyond this point for those countries.
-
Additional paperwork may include a copy of the applicant's passport or ID. It's important that the document remains unlaminated and intact. The entire process generally takes a few working days and results in a document that's internationally valid for legal, academic, or professional use.
