Getting an certificate apostille involves 3 stages of verification in Visakhapatnam. Here’s how it works:
A Notary Public is a government-authorised official who verifies that you (the person signing) are real, and that your signature is authentic. They act as an official witness to confirm the legitimacy of your document. Notarization adds a layer of credibility and legal validity to your document.
After notarization, your documents need state-level verification in Andhra Pradesh. Which department you visit depends on your document type:
In some cases, depending on your specific documents and visa requirements, you might also need additional verification from the Sub-Divisional Magistrate (SDM) for personal and educational documents.
Submit your state-verified documents to the MEA office in Delhi. The MEA will thoroughly review your documents and, if everything checks out, they’ll place a special apostille stamp on them. This stamp signifies that the Indian government has officially approved your documents for international use in countries that are part of the Hague Convention.
This process requires visiting various government offices on your own. First, you need to get a notary stamp from a Notary Public, then verify your documents from SDM/Chamber of Commerce/HRD/Andhra Pradesh Home Department, and finally take your documents to the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) office in New Delhi for the apostille stamp.
