Apostille in Kolkata

In Kolkata, having a document notarized is a necessary step for several documents.  Consider it a legal stamp that certifies both your signature and the identification of the person who signs the paper. This offers an extra degree of trust and prepares the document for the next phases. 

Depending on the type of document you possess, you must visit several offices for state-level verification.

• Diploma/Degree Certificates: Go to the Human Resource Development (HRD) office for validation.
• Personal documents, such as marriage certificates and birth certificates, should be validated by the West Bengal Home Department.
• Business documents (invoices, contracts): Bring them to the Chamber of Commerce for validation.

Depending on your documentation and visa requirements, you may additionally need clearance from the Sub-Divisional Magistrate (SDM).

The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) is the final verification stage of employing your papers in Hague Convention nations.  All papers intended for use overseas require a stamp from the MEA as part of the document clearance procedure. The MEA will check your documents and, if everything appears to be correct, they will stamp them. The MEA stamp indicates that the Indian government has certified your documents for use in nations covered by the Hague Convention.
