Apostille for NRIs FAQs

An apostille is a certification that authenticates a document for use in another country that is a member of the Hague Apostille Convention, commonly needed for education, personal, or commercial documents used abroad.

Common examples include educational certificates, birth and marriage certificates, and commercial documents, required when using these in a Hague Convention member country.

Apostille applies when both countries are Hague Convention members and involves a single-step certification; embassy attestation is a multi-step process required for non-member countries.

Timelines vary by document type and the issuing authority\u2019s processing time, generally ranging from a few days to a couple of weeks.
