Marriage and birth certificate apostille, family visa documentation from India
You moved first. Now your wife, husband or children are joining you. The marriage certificate, the birth certificates and the name spellings have to match before the embassy will look at the bundle. We line the documents up in the order the embassy wants.

Your Situation
How SiZA helps families moving abroad
A family visa documents looks small on paper. A marriage certificate, a few birth certificates, the spouse passport, a vaccination certificate. It is exactly the paperwork that breaks most often, because every name across those documents has to match the passport, and most Indian civil documents were issued long before the passport was printed.
SiZA prepares family documentation for Indian husbands and wives joining each other in Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman, Bahrain, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and other destinations. We have run cross-country cases where an Indian-issued document had to be attested through India, then through a third country, then accepted in the destination country. We have handled name-mismatch fixes where the wife’s spelling on the marriage certificate was different from the passport and the embassy was about to return the submission. You stay focused on the move; we handle the paper trail.
Visa approvals are the embassy’s job, not ours. What we own is the documentation you are about to put in front of the embassy.
Common Situations
Real situations we run for this audience
Saudi family visa with Yellow Slip, GAMCA and vaccination certificate
Saudi family visas (commonly called the Yellow Slip route) need the marriage certificate apostilled and translated to Arabic. Each adult goes through GAMCA. A vaccination certificate, legalised through Notary, SDM, MEA, Apostille and then translated into Arabic, is mandatory at the visa or biometric appointment. We prepare the document set, and we coordinate the vaccination work so the dates do not slip past the appointment.
UAE spouse visa: Dubai versus Abu Dhabi
Dubai usually issues an e-visa, no GAMCA, no passport stamping. Abu Dhabi makes GAMCA mandatory, asks for passport stamping, and the employer routes the visa through the UAE Embassy in India. Both emirates expect a marriage certificate that is apostilled or attested correctly on the India side. UAE Embassy and MOFA attestation now happen together in India. Earlier this work used to go to Dubai by courier; it does not need to any more.
Italy family reunion (Ricongiungimento Familiare) or Family-EU visa
Italy splits family reunion into two routes. An Indian or non-EU sponsor with Permesso di Soggiorno follows the family-reunion route with a Nulla Osta from the competent Italian authority. An Italian or EU citizen sponsor follows the Family-EU route. Both routes ask for HRD or Home plus MEA Apostille on the marriage certificate, and matching spellings across passport, marriage certificate and birth certificates. Where a birth certificate is issued under late registration by SDM, a copy of that order may be required.
Name mismatch on a marriage certificate, birth certificate or passport
A common file-stopper. Maiden-name versus married-name, spelling variants, transliteration changes from a regional language, late-registered births. Affidavits do not always fix it. The Embassy of Italy New Delhi DoV process, for example, expressly does not accept affidavits for a name mismatch; they ask for a "one and the same" certificate from the competent Tehsildar of the candidate’s residence. Other embassies handle the same issue differently. We name the right corrective document on call one.
Cross-country case: Indian family, Qatar-issued birth certificate, UAE destination
A baby born in Doha to Indian parents who are now moving to the UAE. The Qatar-issued birth certificate has to be accepted by UAE authorities. Other agents declined or guided wrongly. SiZA worked the steps: Qatar MOFA attestation in Doha, then UAE Embassy plus UAE MOFA attestation completed from Qatar. The document was accepted. We have established in-country partners in destination countries to complete attestation steps that cannot be done from India.

How SiZA handles this work
- •Reads passport, marriage certificate and birth certificate spellings against each other before recommending any route
- •Names the corrective document for a name mismatch instead of suggesting an affidavit that the embassy may reject
- •Runs the vaccination certificate sequence alongside the marriage work so the dates land together
- •Coordinates GAMCA medical appointment booking
- •Cross-country routes (Qatar MOFA, UAE MOFA, Kuwait MOFA) handled through established in-country partners
- •Customer ID and document ID at intake; printed checklist that travels with the case
- •WhatsApp updates at each step, completion photos before dispatch
- •Return courier via Blue Dart, DHL, FedEx, DTDC Premium or UPS; case closed only after you confirm receipt
What SiZA does not do
- •No visa-approval guarantee. The embassy decides
- •No recruitment, no manpower supply, no overseas hiring
- •No claim that we control GAMCA medical results
- •No back-dated or duplicate civil documents
- •No advice that an affidavit always fixes a name mismatch (some embassies reject affidavits for that)
The Real Worry
What you are dealing with
The marriage certificate spells your wife’s name slightly differently from her passport. The agent says an affidavit will fix it. The embassy appointment is in 18 days. Originals are with your in-laws in Vijayawada.
How SiZA addresses it
Some embassies accept the affidavit, some do not. The Embassy of Italy New Delhi DoV process explicitly asks for a "one and the same" certificate from the competent Tehsildar instead of an affidavit. We name the right corrective document on the first call, run it in parallel with the rest of the work, and your in-laws send the originals only when the order is ready to receive them.
Why customers trust SiZA
Original civil documents have a weight that does not show up on a balance sheet. Your wife’s marriage certificate, your child’s birth certificate, the photo-page of a passport. We handle each one through a printed checklist that travels with the document, a customer ID at intake, photo and video proof before dispatch, and a tracked return courier. The case closes when you confirm on WhatsApp that the application is in your hand. Most of the families who reach us heard about SiZA from another family we worked with first.
