In an increasingly globalized world, the need for document authentication has become more critical than ever. Whether you are planning to study, work, or settle in the United States, you must ensure that your documents are legally recognized. This is where apostille services come into play. If you are in India and require apostille services for documents to be used in the USA, SPS Global Services is your trusted partner in providing seamless and efficient authentication solutions.
An apostille is a form of authentication issued to documents for use in countries that are part of the Hague Convention of 1961. The apostille certificate verifies the authenticity of a document and the signature of the issuing authority, eliminating the need for further legalization by embassies or consulates. Since both India and the USA are members of the Hague Convention, apostille certification is sufficient for document validation in the United States.
If you intend to use Indian documents in the United States for any legal purpose, they must be authenticated through the apostille process. Some of the common reasons for obtaining an apostille include:
Before a document can be apostilled, it must be notarized by a local notary public to verify its authenticity.
For personal and educational documents, state-level attestation is required:
Commercial documents require attestation by the Chamber of Commerce before moving to the next step.
Once state-level attestation is completed, the document is submitted to the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) in India, which issues the apostille. The MEA affixes a unique apostille sticker and seal to confirm the authenticity of the document.
If the document is in a regional Indian language, it may need to be translated into English before submission to US authorities.
