Apostille

India has been a member of the Hague Convention of October 5, 1961, since 2005. This Convention eliminates the need for legalization of foreign public documents among member countries. Apostilled documents are accepted in all member nations of the Convention. (For more details, visit: www.hcch.net)

In India, Apostille is applicable for:

  • Personal documents: Birth, death, and marriage certificates, affidavits, power of attorney, etc.

  • Educational documents: Degrees, diplomas, matriculation and secondary school certificates, etc.

As per the Convention, any document that has been apostilled in a member country does not require further attestation or legalization for use in India. Such apostilled documents must be recognized as fully legalized by all Indian authorities in accordance with international obligations under the Convention.
