MEA Apostille
Apostille Services in Delhi
MEA apostille services in Delhi are for Indian documents going to Hague Apostille countries such as Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Poland, Netherlands, USA, UK, Canada, Australia and many others. Normal MEA apostille often takes 2 to 4 working days after the document is ready for MEA. Urgent handling can be possible in about 24 hours where the file is ready and MEA working conditions allow it.

Delhi matters because MEA apostille is issued in Delhi. But that does not mean every document starts in Delhi. A degree may first need State HRD where the university is. A birth certificate may need SDM or Home Department. A commercial paper may start with Chamber of Commerce.
Start with the destination and document scan
Someone searching for apostille services in Delhi may be living in Noida or Gurgaon. Or they may now be in Canada, Germany or the UAE, but their family is in Delhi NCR and can hand over the original. Both cases are common. The first job is to check the scan and find the correct first step.
Delhi is only the final counter in many cases. A person studied in Mumbai, now lives in Germany, and his father is in Noida with the original degree. Even though the handover is in NCR, the degree still needs Maharashtra HRD before MEA apostille if the receiving authority asks for HRD. Delhi is the final apostille counter, not always the first office.
SiZA Global Solutions Private Limited runs Delhi apostille work with this simple order: check scan, confirm document type, confirm destination, complete the right pre-MEA step, then submit for MEA apostille.
Apostille and embassy attestation are not two names for the same stamp
An apostille is the India-side certificate used when the destination and India are connected under the Hague Apostille Convention for that document. The Ministry of External Affairs issues it. Once the apostille is placed, a Hague-country embassy does not normally add another legalisation stamp to the same Indian document.
Embassy attestation is the longer path used for a non-Hague destination such as the UAE, Kuwait or Qatar. The document first completes its Indian checks, then MEA attestation, then the destination embassy, followed by MOFA where the receiving country asks for it. Choosing apostille just because it sounds quicker will not make the document valid in a non-Hague country.
The destination can also treat document categories differently. China, Taiwan, Italy and Poland study files need special care around educational documents and the state authentication before MEA. We confirm the country, visa or authority purpose instead of answering from the country name alone.
You can use a Delhi apostille service even when you live abroad
Many searches for apostille services in Delhi come from people who no longer live here. An engineer in Germany may have a degree with parents in Noida. A family in Canada may need an Indian birth certificate apostille. A student in Gurgaon may need a PCC and degree ready for two different authorities. In each case, location affects handover and courier, not the legal authority that issued the document.
Send scans of every page, the destination, purpose and deadline first. We will tell you the exact apostille, attestation, translation or legalisation requirement and whether the original has to move. After the route is clear, pickup can be arranged in Delhi, Noida, Gurgaon, Ghaziabad or Faridabad, or the original can be handed over at C-25, Sector 8, Noida. The completed document is returned with tracking in India or abroad.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I get apostille services in Delhi if I live in Noida or Gurgaon?
Delhi NCR handover is common. We can review scans first, then arrange pickup or courier from Noida, Gurgaon, Ghaziabad, Faridabad or Delhi once the document steps are clear.
Does every document go directly to MEA for apostille?
A PSK-issued PCC can go directly to MEA. A degree may need HRD first. A birth or marriage certificate may need SDM or Home Department. A commercial document may need Chamber of Commerce.
How long does MEA apostille take in Delhi?
After the document is ready for MEA, normal apostille is usually 2 to 4 working days. Urgent apostille can be possible in about 24 hours, but only when the file is complete and MEA working days allow it.
Is apostille the same as embassy attestation?
Apostille is for Hague countries. Embassy attestation is for non-Hague countries like UAE, Kuwait, Qatar, Libya, Egypt and Jordan. The destination decides the process.
Can my family in Delhi send my Indian documents if I live abroad?
Many NRI files work this way. Your family shares scans, we confirm the process, then the original moves through tracked courier or pickup.
Should translation be done before apostille?
Often no. If the receiving authority wants the apostille text translated, translation should happen after apostille. We check the country and authority instruction first.
What should I send before you quote?
Send the document scan, passport copy, destination country, purpose and deadline. If you have a university, embassy, employer or VFS checklist, send that too.
Can SiZA Global Solutions Private Limited handle birth, marriage, degree and PCC apostille together?
We can review them together, but each document may need a different first step. We group only the parts that can safely move together.

“I live in Italy, and for immigration purpose I was asked to submit legalized marriage certificate from Italian consulate. Since I cannot personally do it, I found this agency online and contacted them. I sent them a pdf file of my marriage certificate and passport, they did everything from home department attestation, apostille, Italian translation and legalization from Italian consulate, Mumbai all within 40 days and send it to me by DHL to Italy. They were a life saver because there are only very few agencies in India who does legalization from Italian consulate. They were very professional, sent me the photo of the certificate after each step. I highly recommend them.”
