Overview

Apostille Services

An Apostille is a form of authentication issued to documents for use in countries that participate in the Hague Convention of 1961. It is a simplified certification that replaces the need for embassy legalization. With an apostille, your document is recognized in over 124 countries worldwide. India joined the Hague Apostille Convention in 2023, making the process significantly simpler and faster for Indian documents. We handle apostille for both Indian and French documents.
