Hungary apostille work from India is a Hague Apostille chain, Hungary is a Hague Convention member. The India-side route is State HRD (educational) or SDM / Home Department (civil) before MEA apostille. After apostille, certified Hungarian translation by OFFI (Országos Fordító és Fordításhitelesítő, the state translation office) or another Hungarian sworn translator is commonly required for most authority submissions; in regulated routes only OFFI translation is accepted.
Most Indian-to-Hungary files run in three lanes: skilled-worker White Card and Hungarian Card (Hungary's recently expanded skilled-migration scheme), EU Blue Card, and student visa for admission at the University of Debrecen, Semmelweis University, Eötvös Loránd University, Corvinus University and the Stipendium Hungaricum scholarship programme. Stipendium Hungaricum applicants face the tightest deadlines because scholarship calls have fixed submission windows.
Send a clear scan of the document set on WhatsApp +91-9220161774 with the Hungarian recipient named in one line (Stipendium Hungaricum (and which university), university (non-scholarship admission), White Card / Hungarian Card, EU Blue Card, family reunion, or other) and the deadline. SiZA Global confirms the chain, the realistic working-day timeline for your State HRD, the OFFI or other Hungarian sworn-translation page count, and a written quote that separates HRD fee, MEA fee, Hungarian translation fee and SiZA service fee before originals move.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an apostille?
An apostille is a single official stamp issued by India's Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) on the back of an Indian document. Once placed, the document is accepted in any country that is a member of the 1961 Hague Apostille Convention, about 125 countries today, including the USA, UK, Italy, Germany, France, Saudi Arabia (since 2022), and Canada (since 2024). For non-Hague destinations such as UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Libya, and Egypt, MEA apostille alone is not enough, the document needs MEA attestation plus the destination country's embassy attestation in India.
Is apostille required for Saudi Arabia?
Saudi Arabia joined the Hague Apostille Convention in December 2022. For Indian documents going to Saudi Arabia today, MEA apostille (after the relevant pre-step, State HRD for educational documents, SDM or Home Department for civil documents) is the standard India-side authentication. The previous Saudi Embassy + Cultural Attaché route was discontinued in December 2022; some Saudi employers still ask for QVP / Mosaddaqa qualification verification or SCFHS DataFlow PSV separately for licensed professions. SiZA Global confirms which parallel tracks apply to your specific Saudi file at scan review.

They also reviewed my checklist and confirmed I didn't need Punjab HRD for this particular submission — saved me extra time.”
Nisha Kaur

“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.”
