Document Procurement / Attestation / Apostille for Foreign Nationals

A. Importance of Legalized Documents for Foreign Nationals in India Foreign nationals residing in or traveling to India for employment, education, long-term residence, marriage, or legal transactions are often required to present documents that are authenticated and legally valid in both their home country and India. This process typically involves document procurement, embassy/consular attestation, notarization, and in some cases, apostille under the Hague Convention.

Our services are designed for expats, PIOs, OCIs, and other foreign nationals who need assistance with:

• Obtaining duplicate or original civil documents (birth, marriage, divorce, death, etc.) from their home country

• Procuring educational certificates and transcripts

• Getting documents attested by foreign embassies or the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), India

• Apostille services for documents recognized under the Hague Convention

• Legal translation and notary services

This documentation is crucial for:

• Visa applications and renewals

• FRRO registration

• Indian work permits or business licenses

• Marriage registration in India

• Admission in Indian educational institutions

• Legal court proceedings or property transactions

B. Our Document Services – Step-by-Step Support

1. Document Procurement: We help retrieve civil and educational documents from various countries by coordinating with:

• Government registry offices

• Educational institutions or boards

• Notarial offices or civil status departments

This service is ideal for clients who no longer reside in their home country or cannot travel for administrative tasks. We help acquire:

• Birth, marriage, divorce, and death certificates

• Academic degrees, diplomas, and mark sheets

• Police clearance certificates (PCCs)

• Employment verification letters

2. Attestation Services: We handle multi-tier attestation, ensuring that your documents are valid for use in India:

• Notary Attestation: First level, done by a registered legal notary.

• Home Department Attestation: For state-issued documents.

• Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) Attestation: For national-level validation.

• Embassy Attestation: For final authentication by the respective embassy or consulate.

We coordinate the entire process across jurisdictions to ensure quick and error-free attestation.

3. Apostille Services: If your home country is a signatory of the Hague Apostille Convention, your documents can be apostilled instead of being attested by the embassy. We assist with:

• Preparing and verifying the documents for apostille

This is especially useful for foreign nationals from countries like the USA, UK, France, Germany, Netherlands, Australia, and others.
