Notarisation, Attestation & Apostille
A document headed abroad has to be verified in a set order. We take it through each stage so it is accepted when it arrives.
Overview
What is Notarisation, Attestation & Apostille?
Using an Indian document abroad means proving it is genuine. Notarisation confirms signatures and copies; the issuing state or a Regional Authentication Centre authenticates the document; then the Ministry of External Affairs either affixes an apostille, for countries in the Hague Apostille Convention, or attests it for countries outside the Convention, which also require legalisation by their embassy.

Eligibility & requirements
Why is it needed?
Universities, employers, immigration authorities and foreign courts will not accept an Indian document without the certification their country recognises. Getting the wrong one, or skipping state authentication before the Ministry of External Affairs, means starting again — often after the document has already been sent.
