1. What Is an Apostille?

An apostille is a certificate attached to official documents—like educational certificates, personal affidavits, or company paperwork—to validate their authenticity for use in countries that are part of the Hague Apostille Convention. In simple terms: it's an internationally recognized stamp of approval for your documents.

 

2. Why You Might Need an Apostille from Mumbai 

If you plan to use Indian-origin documents—such as birth certificates, educational degrees, marriage certificates, PCCs (Police Clearance Certificates), or commercial documents—in countries like the UK, Australia, Canada, or the UAE, you’ll need them apostilled by competent authorities. Without it, documents may be considered invalid abroad.

 

3. The Apostille Process in Mumbai 

3.1 Required Documents

• Original document to be apostilled (e.g., degree, affidavit).
  
  

• A clear photocopy of the same.
  
  

• Passport or ID proof (like Aadhaar).
  
  

• Address proof.
  
  

• Payment for government and service fees.
  
  

3.2 Step-by-Step Process

1. Verification by the issuing authority – e.g., Registrar of Births, University, Notary Public.
   
   

2. Home Department attestation – Maharashtra Home (for personal documents).
   
   

3. MEA attestation – Ministry of External Affairs, New Delhi.
   
   

4. Apostille by MEA – final international validation (MEA in Delhi).
   
   

5. Return to Mumbai and delivery to your address.
   
   

At Apostille Services in Mumbai, we take care of the entire chain—from document pickup in Mumbai, verification, courier to Delhi MEA, to final delivery.

 

4. Types of Documents Eligible for Apostille

Various types of documents are eligible for apostille, depending on the purpose and the country in which they will be used. Degree and educational certificates are commonly apostilled by students and professionals who are planning to study or work abroad. Birth and marriage certificates are usually required for immigration purposes, spouse visa applications, or registering personal status in foreign countries. Police Clearance Certificates (PCCs) are essential for residents who are applying for long-term visas, jobs, or permanent residency overseas. For companies, commercial documents such as certificates of incorporation, invoices, or power of attorney often need apostille to facilitate international trade, business expansion, or compliance. Lastly, affidavits and legal documents—which may include name change declarations, custody agreements, or court-related papers—are also frequently apostilled for visa applications, property dealings, or legal matters abroad.

At Apostille Services in Mumbai, we handle each of these document types with accuracy and professionalism, ensuring they meet the specific requirements of the destination country.

9. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) 

Q1: How long is the apostille valid?
A1: Apostille certificates do not expire as long as the original document remains valid. However, some authorities may ask for documents apostilled within the last six months.

Q2: Can the apostille be added after legalization?
A2: No. Apostille replaces legalization in Hague Convention countries. Don’t legalize first—apostille conversion must follow proper order.

Q3: Do I need to present originals?

Q4: Is there a standard courier I must use?
