Apostille Services in India – Everything You Need to Know

Planning to study, work, or settle abroad? If your destination country is a member of the Hague Apostille Convention, you’ll likely need an apostille on your Indian documents. At La Classe Translation Pvt. Ltd., we offer fast, reliable, and MEA-authorized apostille services for all types of personal, educational, and commercial documents.

Whether you’re a student heading to Europe, a professional relocating for work, or a company expanding overseas—our experts simplify the entire apostille process for you.

What is an Apostille?

An apostille is a sticker or certificate issued by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), Government of India. It authenticates the origin of public documents to be used in foreign countries that are part of the Hague Convention of 1961. Once apostilled, the document is legally valid in over 100 member countries without further legalization.

When and Why You Need Apostille

You will need an apostille if you're:

• Applying for admission to a foreign university or college
