MEA Apostille
Apostille Services in Mumbai
Apostille services in Mumbai helps IT, finance, and corporate professionals going to USA, UK, or Australia and others get their Indian degree, birth, marriage, and other certificates apostilled for UAE and United Kingdom and other countries. Maharashtra HRD has three types, Employment HRD for work-use certificates, Educational HRD for study-visa and academic use, and Medical HRD for nursing and healthcare credentials. The correct type matters because each goes to a different authority with a different document checklist. SiZA Global reviews Mumbai documents via scan first, coordinates Maharashtra HRD where needed, and returns completed documents with tracked delivery, no Noida visit required.
Apostille services in Mumbai run through Maharashtra Mantralaya in South Mumbai for the State HRD step on educational documents and through the Mumbai-based Home Department or SDM offices for civil documents, birth, marriage, PCC, divorce, death. Maharashtra Mantralaya HRD has its own queue and working pace; for universities affiliated to Mumbai University, Mumbai University verification is typically required before HRD issues the authentication. For autonomous deemed universities in Maharashtra (NMIMS, Symbiosis, ICT, TISS, IIT Bombay among others), the verification route varies, and SiZA confirms the route for the specific issuing institution before the file moves.
The Mumbai diaspora-side context shapes a lot of the work. Mumbai professionals and families send documents most commonly to the USA (technology, finance, healthcare), the UAE (Dubai and Abu Dhabi corporate roles, Golden Visa), the UK (NMC nursing, Skilled Worker), Canada (Express Entry, family-class sponsorship), Australia (AHPRA healthcare, Engineers Australia), and the GCC for diamond-trade and shipping operations. Each destination changes the post-apostille step (Hague apostille acceptance vs UAE Embassy attestation vs translation requirements), but the State HRD step on educational documents from Mumbai-area universities is the constant first move.

Share the document scan, destination country, purpose, deadline, and where the original document is currently kept.
Confirm the right process
SiZA checks whether the file needs apostille, embassy attestation, HRD/Home, Chamber, translation, visa documentation, or a combined process.

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.

“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.”
