About This Service
Marriage certificate apostille is the official MEA (Ministry of External Affairs) certification of your Indian marriage certificate for legal recognition in Hague Convention countries. It proves that your marriage is genuine and legally registered in India, making it valid abroad.
If your spouse is settled abroad or you are planning to join them on a spouse/dependent visa in countries like the UK, Germany, France, Netherlands, USA, Canada, or Australia, your Indian marriage certificate must be apostilled by the MEA to be accepted by immigration authorities and embassies.
The apostille process for marriage certificates goes through the State Home Department (not HRD, which is for educational certificates), followed by the MEA apostille sticker — both handled completely by our team across all Indian states.
When You Need It
To join your partner in UK, Germany, France, Netherlands, or other Hague countries on a spouse or family reunion visa, your Indian marriage certificate must be apostilled.
When applying for a dependent visa to accompany your spouse who is working or studying in a Hague Convention country, an apostilled marriage certificate is mandatory.
PR and permanent settlement applications in UK, Australia, Canada, and Europe require apostilled marriage certificates to prove marital status and family ties.
Changing your surname to your spouse's name in foreign government records, banks, or passports requires an apostilled marriage certificate from India.
Adding a spouse to health insurance, pension, and social benefit schemes in Hague countries often requires an apostilled proof of marriage from India.
Inheritance, divorce proceedings, property rights, and other legal matters in Hague countries where your Indian marriage is relevant require an apostilled certificate.
How It Works
The apostille process for marriage certificates follows a specific government route. Unlike educational certificates, marriage certificates go through the Home Department — not HRD. Our team handles everything.
Your marriage certificate is attested by a registered Notary Public — the first verification step in the apostille process.
The Home Department of your state (where the marriage was registered) verifies and attests the certificate. This is the key difference from educational certificates.
The Ministry of External Affairs issues the official Apostille sticker. Once done, your marriage certificate is legally recognised in 100+ Hague Convention countries.
Note: For Gulf countries (UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Oman), you need attestation — not apostille. See Marriage Certificate Attestation →
