Frequently Asked Questions
What is apostille and when do I need it?
An apostille is an official certification issued by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) of India under the Hague Convention of 1961. It authenticates Indian public documents for use in any of the 120+ Hague Convention member countries. You need apostille when submitting Indian documents — such as degree certificates, birth certificates, or marriage certificates — to foreign universities, embassies, employers, or government authorities in countries like Italy, Germany, USA, UK, Canada, Australia, France, Spain, Netherlands, and others.
How long does apostille take in India?
Standard MEA apostille processing in India typically takes 7–10 working days from the time documents are submitted. This timeline includes any required state-level HRD or Home Department attestation. Expedited processing is available for urgent requirements — contact us via WhatsApp for priority turnaround options.
Which countries accept MEA apostille from India?
All 120+ member countries of the Hague Convention accept MEA apostille. Key countries include Italy, Czech Republic, Germany, France, Spain, Netherlands, USA, UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Portugal, Poland, Slovakia, Croatia, Romania, Greece, Hungary, Austria, Switzerland, Belgium, and more. GCC countries (UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman, Bahrain) are NOT Hague Convention members and require embassy attestation instead.
Which documents can be apostilled in India?
The MEA can apostille both personal and commercial documents. Educational documents include degree certificates, marksheets, transcripts, diplomas, and provisional certificates. Personal documents include birth certificates, marriage certificates, divorce certificates, death certificates, police clearance certificates (PCC), single status certificates, and affidavits. Commercial documents include power of attorney, board resolutions, company certificates, and export documents. Note: educational documents often require HRD attestation before MEA apostille.
Do I need HRD attestation before MEA apostille for my degree?
Yes, in most cases educational certificates such as degree certificates and marksheets require HRD (Human Resource Development) attestation by the respective state government before the MEA will apostille them. The requirement varies by state and document type. SiZA Global handles the complete chain: HRD attestation followed by MEA apostille, so you don't need to manage this process separately.
How much does apostille cost in India?
Apostille costs depend on the number and type of documents, any state-level HRD or Home Department attestation required, document pickup and delivery location, and urgency. The MEA government fee is nominal, but professional service charges cover the entire process. Contact us via WhatsApp with details of your documents for a precise, no-obligation quotation.
