Hague Convention 1961

What is MEA Apostille?

An Apostille is an official certificate issued by India's Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) under the Hague Convention of 1961. It authenticates the origin of an Indian public document — such as a degree, birth, or marriage certificate — so that it is legally recognised in any of the 118 Hague member countries without any further embassy attestation.

🌍 Apostille vs Attestation at a glance: Apostille is required for Hague countries — UK, Germany, France, USA, Australia, Canada and 110+ others. Embassy Attestation is required for non-Hague countries — UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Bahrain. Your destination country determines which process you need.

India joined the Hague Convention in 2005. Since then, the MEA issues apostille stickers (or digital e-Apostilles with QR codes) on documents verified by the appropriate state authority. This eliminates the need for multiple embassy legalisations, saving applicants significant time and cost.

Apostille is for Hague Convention countries (UK, Germany, France, USA, Australia). Embassy Attestation is for non-Hague countries like UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Oman, and Bahrain.

Digital e-Apostille can sometimes be processed in 1–2 working days. Timelines also depend on the state HRD/Home Department processing time in your home state.
No. UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Oman, and Bahrain are NOT members of the Hague Convention and do not accept Apostille. For employment and visa applications to these countries, you need embassy attestation (MEA attestation + Embassy attestation). We handle both services — just let us know your destination country.
Yes, absolutely. We provide doorstep document pickup from any city in India. You courier your originals or we arrange a pickup through our network. The entire apostille process is handled at our New Delhi office and documents are returned to you after completion. You do not need to be present in Delhi.
Digital apostille (e-Apostille) is a digital certificate with a QR code issued by MEA instead of a physical sticker. It can be verified online and is accepted in all 118 Hague member countries. India's MEA has been progressively rolling out e-Apostilles which offer faster processing for eligible documents.
