So, before we get down to understanding the process of getting an Apostille in Kolkata, let’s first take a look at what an Apostille is and the reasons you will need it.

What’s an Apostille Document and why is it needed?

An Apostille stamp or sticker is a way to testify to the authenticity of a certificate or document you want to use in one of the Hague countries. Apparently, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) and West Bengal Secretariat officials would need to legalize it.

This unique stamp on Apostille will be accredited on presenting original and attested documents.

In fact, getting documents apostilled is required in 92 countries.

Reasons You Would Need an Apostille Stamp

Below are the documents you’d need to get apostilled for various reasons. Let’s take a quick look.

University degree certificate

If you are interested in working or studying in a country that falls under Hague Convention, you’d need to get your university degree certificate apostilled as a part of the legal process. An apostilled degree certificate vouches for the authenticity of your qualification while seeking employment opportunities or pursuing higher education overseas.

Police Clearance certificate

PCC or police clearance certificate is a testimony of no-criminal record. A police clearance certificate alone is not enough and hence an Apostille stamp on the PCC is quite necessary. An apostilled PCC stamp helps foreign embassies consider your profile for visa application due to your testified clean record.

Export Document

Looking to establish or expand your business presence in a foreign country in the form of import/export or business registration? If the answer is yes, an apostilled export certificate is a mandatory requirement. At ND Universal, we help you get your export document apostilled by the relevant department in the shortest timeframes possible.

Affidavit Apostille

An affidavit is required to help individuals change their names legally and publically. If you wish to change your existing name in a foreign country, you’d need an Apostille on the affidavit to establish its authenticity.

Birth Certificate

An apostilled birth certificate is required to vouch for the authenticity of an individual’s birth. It includes not just the date, time, and place, but nationality as well. If you are looking to obtain a foreign visa or seeking admission to a foreign university or college, an apostilled birth certificate will be required.

Single Status Certificate

To prove your marital status as single or unmarried, you’d need to get an apostilled single status certificate to be considered a legal and genuine document in a foreign land.

Apostille Process at a Glance

Once the Kolkata administration department-issued certificate is verified by the HRD, Home Ministry, or Chamber of Commerce depending on the class of the document, it will be sent to the Ministry of External Affairs or MEA for the final step of Apostilling the document.

Below is your step-by-step guide for personal, educational, and commercial document Apostille in Kolkata.

1. Apostille Process for Educational Documents

Academic or educational documents are required to be apostilledand the process involves university verification followed by notary attestation. Once this is done,
These documents will be sent to the HRD department to verify on behalf of the state. And finally, the MEA (Ministry of External Affairs) will apostille the documents.

2. Apostille for Personal or Non-Educational Documents

The process of getting personal/non-educational documents is slightly different. The documents are first attested by the notary before they are sent for the consideration of the SDM or State Home Department.
Documents verified and attested by these departments are sent to the MEA (Ministry of External Affairs) for Apostille.

3. Apostille Process for Commercial Documents

To get your commercial documents apostilled, you’d need to get approval/verification from the Chamber of Commerce. Please note that notarization or state verification is not involved in this process.
Once the Chamber of Commerce attests the documents, the documents will be forwarded to the MEA (Ministry of External Affairs) for Apostille.
