Attestation of Documents

Attestation of documents refers to the legalisation of important documents in order to make them admissible to the authority that requires them. Document attestation is performed on three types of documents: personal, educational, and commercial.

Since 2005, India has been a signatory to the Hague Convention of October 5, 1961, which abolished the requirement of legalisation of foreign public documents. Apostille is recognised in all Convention member countries (For more info please visit the website: www.hcch.net). Apostille is performed on personal documents such as birth/death/marriage certificates, affidavits, powers of attorney, and so on, as well as educational documents such as degrees, diplomas, matriculation and secondary level certificates, and so on.
