Apostille & Legalization for India
How to authenticate a U.S. document for use in India: whether it needs an apostille or embassy legalization, translation requirements, and how we handle the whole process.
As a Hague Convention member, India recognizes a single apostille certificate from the U.S. Department of State. No embassy legalization step is required.
If you are sending a U.S. document to India — for OCI cards, marriage registration, employment, or another purpose — it must be authenticated before India authorities will accept it. This page explains exactly what India requires and how we handle it end to end.
