What is a Marriage Certificate Apostille?
An apostille is an official sticker issued by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), Government of India, verifying the authenticity of your marriage certificate. This apostille allows the document to be accepted by over 100 countries that are members of the Hague Apostille Convention, eliminating the need for further embassy attestation.
The apostille includes a unique identification number, date of issue, and MEA seal, confirming the document’s legitimacy for international purposes.
