Our goal is simple: to help you get your Personal Document Apostille in India without stress, without delay, and without confusion.

What Is a Personal Document Apostille?

A personal document apostille is an official sticker or stamp issued by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) that certifies your document as genuine. Once apostilled, your certificate becomes valid in all Hague Convention countries, meaning it’s automatically accepted without further embassy attestation.

Think of the apostille as an international “stamp of authenticity.”

This process is a part of document legalization, and it’s mainly required when you plan to:

  • Apply for a student visa or university admission abroad
  • Get a work visa or job placement in a foreign country
  • Apply for permanent residence or family immigration
  • Use documents for legal or medical purposes abroad

Common Personal Documents That Need Apostille

  • Birth Certificates
  • Marriage Certificates
  • Divorce Certificates
  • Police Clearance Certificates (PCC)
  • Affidavits and Declarations
  • Medical Certificates
  • Power of Attorney
  • Single Status or Relationship Certificates

In short, if a foreign embassy or organization asks you to prove that your Indian document is genuine, apostille is the official way to do it.

How the Apostille Process Works in India

Getting your documents apostilled in India involves multiple government departments — but don’t worry, we’ve simplified it for you.

Here’s how the apostille process typically works with our assistance:

Step 1: Document Collection & Verification

You can either drop off your documents or request doorstep pickup. Our team checks the papers to ensure they are eligible for apostille and verifies all basic details.
If notarization or translation is required (for non-English documents), we take care of that too through our certified notary and language experts.

Step 2: State or SDM Authentication

Before MEA can apostille any personal document, it must first be authenticated by the State Home Department or the Sub-Divisional Magistrate (SDM).
This step confirms that the signature or seal on your document is valid.
Our team coordinates with the relevant state department to complete this verification without you having to run around.

Step 3: MEA Apostille (The Main Step)

Once your documents are verified, we submit them to the Ministry of External Affairs in Delhi or its regional centers for apostille.
The MEA then issues an Apostille sticker — a blue, computer-generated label that includes:

  • The Indian Emblem
  • Unique Apostille Number
  • QR Code (for verification)
  • Name, date, and official seal

This sticker makes your document officially valid across Hague Convention countries.

Step 4: Final Quality Check

After the apostille is done, our experts check the seal, barcode, and document details one more time to ensure everything is accurate.

Step 5: Safe & Secure Delivery

Finally, we deliver your apostilled documents back to you safely through trusted courier partners — anywhere in India.
Our clients also receive live tracking updates, so you always know where your papers are.

With Good Apostille Services, the entire apostille process becomes smooth, fast, and absolutely transparent.
