What is Apostille Attestation?
Apostille attestation is an internationally recognized certificate issued by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), Government of India, that verifies the authenticity of documents for use in foreign countries. Under the Hague Convention of 1961, a document apostilled by one member country is legally accepted by all other signatory nations — eliminating the need for repeated legalization through embassies.
Apostilled documents are valid for personal milestones such as education, employment, marriage, immigration, and business dealings across 120+ Hague Convention member countries, including the USA, UK, Germany, Australia, and many more.
MEA Outsourced Apostille Services — How It Works
The Ministry of External Affairs has outsourced the collection and delivery of documents for apostille to authorized agencies. Documents are no longer accepted directly at MEA offices. Applicants must submit their original documents through an MEA-authorized agency for processing.
Important: MEA only apostilles original documents. Photocopies, laminated documents, or digitally scanned copies are not accepted. Do not engage unauthorized agents for apostille services — always verify MEA authorization before submitting your documents.
Trust Attestation Service is an officially recognized outsourced agency of the Ministry of External Affairs, authorized to collect, process, and deliver documents for MEA apostille on behalf of individuals, companies, and institutions across India.
