Looking to get document apostille services in Kochi? At EAS, we help you out with professional apostille services that make your documents legally valid and usable outside India. Think of it as an international certificate which proves that your documents are real. This is done through the official stamp of the Ministry of External Affairs. Documents that can be apostilled include educational diplomas, degrees, birth and marriage certificates, and commercial documents. The overall process involves verifying your documents at different levels, usually the district, state, and then finally at the national level.
The process of getting a document apostille in Kochi is done on three levels of authority, same as in the rest of the country:
The first step is verifying the documents locally. This is done by a local public notary. A notary is a legal officer who verifies that your certificates and documents are genuine. Getting your documents notarized is necessary for apostille documentation Kochi.
After being verified by the notary, the state-level RACs (Regional Authentication Centres) will verify your documents. The specific RAC differs according to the type of document.Â
The last step of this verification is from the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA. In the MEA apostille, the ministry officially stamps your documents, making them legally usable outside India. After this step, you don’t have to do any further legalization of documents in countries that follow the Hague Convention, 1961.
If you take this lengthy and time-consuming route for apostille attestations, you will have to personally visit government offices for verification. First, go to a public notary office, then to the state-level authority (Home Department, SDM, Human Resource Department or Chamber of Commerce). And, to complete the process, visit the MEA office for the official apostille stamp.
