What is a Death Certificate Apostille?
A Death Certificate Apostille is the process of authenticating a government-issued death certificate with a unique apostille sticker from the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), Government of India. This sticker confirms the document’s authenticity and legal validity for use in over 100 countries that are members of the Hague Apostille Convention.
This certification avoids the need for additional attestation from the embassy of the destination country.
