JapanApostille, Attestation & Document Services from India

Japan has accepted Indian MEA apostille since it joined the Hague Convention in 1970. The Certificate of Eligibility, issued by your Japanese employer or university, is the gate for almost every long-stay visa. Common routes are Engineer or Specialist in Humanities, Specified Skilled Worker (Tokutei Ginō), Highly Skilled Professional, Student, and Intra-Company Transfer.

Japan is a Hague Apostille Convention member and accepts Indian MEA apostille. Most academic, civil, and employment files additionally need Japanese translation; many Japanese authorities accept English-language documents alongside translator-certified Japanese translation. The India-side chain is state-level pre-attestation → MEA apostille → Japanese translation where required. Long-term visa categories include Engineer / Specialist in Humanities / International Services, Highly Skilled Professional, Skilled Labor, and Student.

Real clients, real documents, real results.

I needed both MEA apostille and Italian translation for my degree, marksheets, and birth certificate. SiZA handled the full package — apostille and empanelled Italian translation together. Everything was accepted by the Italian embassy without any queries.

Degree HRD from Maharashtra, then MEA apostille, then Qatar embassy attestation — a long chain. SiZA tracked every step and gave me realistic timelines for Maharashtra HRD before starting. All documents delivered before my Qatar joining date. I had no idea the process was this manageable with the right support.

My UK university needed apostilled degree and marksheets. SiZA picked up documents from Chandigarh through their courier pickup process. Everything came back apostilled and on time. They also reviewed my checklist and confirmed I didn't need Punjab HRD for this particular submission — saved me extra time.

Czech Blue Card required apostilled degree, work experience letters, and a certified Czech translation of my degree. SiZA arranged the Maharashtra HRD first — which they told me upfront is required for degrees from Pune University — then MEA apostille, then the Czech translation. The Czech embassy accepted everything first attempt.

AHPRA skills assessment required apostilled pharmacy degree and internship certificate. I was confused about whether Tamil Nadu HRD attestation was needed first. SiZA clarified it clearly — TN HRD is required before MEA for degree apostille. They handled both steps. My documents reached AHPRA exactly as required.
