Mumbai Attestation

The international agreement envisages replacement of cumbersome and costly formalities of a full legalization process with the issuance of an Apostille (also called Apostille Certificate). Apostille can be issued by a competent authority designated by the state on whose territory the public document has been executed.

People in the Mumbai requiring attestation of their certificates and documents for using them abroad need not go to New Delhi anymore. They can be attested at the Mumbai-Attestation. Based on an international convention, which India is implementing since last year, 'Apostille stickers' will be affixed on documents like certificates , powers of attorney, affidavits and mark sheets by the Apostille Services in Mumbai (Mumbai Attestation) for applicants from Mumbai and Pune. Applicants from Maharashtra can get their documents attested in Mumbai itself. An Apostille is an internationally used term for certification or legalization of a foreign document. The system, based on the Hague Apostille convention of 1961, was introduced in Mumbai on Monday.
