Apostille can be a hectic process if approached in an unplanned manner. It is always advisable to contact professionals for smooth and accurate documentation. Generally, the process takes 5 to 6 working days if done through the SDM and Apostille route. However, with the State Home Department, it can take up to several weeks or even months.
Before checking the documents, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) attestation process involves several stages of prior authentication. The entire Apostille Process depends on the type of document—personal, educational, or commercial—for central document authentication.
Documents such as Birth Certificates, Marriage Certificates, Death Certificates, Single Status Affidavits, and Driving Licenses must first be authenticated by the State Home Department or Union Territory. The authentication must include the seal and signature of the designated official and the department’s stamp.
Educational documents must be authenticated by the State Department of Education of the respective State Government or Union Territory. The seal and signature of the designated authority are mandatory for verification.
These documents should first be pre-authenticated by the relevant Chamber of Commerce. A rubber stamp with the name and designation of the authorized signatory must be affixed to each document.
After State or Chamber-level authentication, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) legalizes the documents. The MEA confirms the signature and seal of the designated authority but does not take responsibility for the content of the document.
