A business document apostille makes Indian corporate papers valid in Hague Convention countries.
VerifiedApostille helps Indian companies, founders, and NRIs complete the Notary → CoC → MEA chain quickly, with worldwide courier delivery.
Regular Apostille vs e-Apostille (QR)
Both apostille types are physically stamped on your document — the e-Apostille (QR) additionally includes a QR code and unique ID you can verify online. See: How e-Apostille (QR) and e-Sanad verification work.
For non-Hague destinations, we extend the chain to Embassy/Consulate attestation after MEA.
See: Hague vs Non-Hague explainer.
Accepted Documents (India-registered entities)
Invoice / Packing List / Certificate of Origin
Invoices, commercial invoices, and packing lists — often acceptable as e-Apostille (QR) from scans if the recipient allows.
Board Resolutions / Authorization Letters
Board Resolutions and Authorization letters — typically needed alongside a POA when signing authority is delegated to someone other than the company’s registered signatory.
Agreements / MoU
MOA / AOA (Memorandum & Articles of Association) and other company agreements or MoUs — Chamber of Commerce attestation applies before MEA, and a current CIN/GST extract may be requested if company details have changed since issuance.
Other Commercial Documents
- Power of Attorney (POA)
- Certificate of Incorporation / CIN extract
- Certificates issued by Indian companies — training/course-completion, quality, or compliance certificates on a company’s own letterhead (we’ve handled these for clients issued by companies like Zoho, ManageEngine, and Americo Quality Standards Registech)
- Other India-issued company documents as per recipient requirement

Frequently Asked Questions
What route do business documents follow for MEA apostille?
Commercial/company papers typically go Notary → Chamber of Commerce (CoC) → MEA apostille. For non-Hague destinations, the chain continues to the relevant Embassy/Consulate.
Which business documents are accepted?
Power of Attorney (company POA), MOA/AOA, Certificate of Incorporation/CIN extract, Invoices & packing lists, Board Resolutions/Authorizations, company-issued training or quality/compliance certificates (we've apostilled these for clients issued by companies like Zoho, ManageEngine, and Americo Quality Standards Registech), and other India-issued company documents.
How much does a business document apostille cost?
In India, basic single-page business documents (Regular Apostille or e-Apostille QR) start at ₹1,750. For international/NRI clients, the flat $30 rate covers MEA apostille handling fee only. Notary, Chamber of Commerce attestation, and delivery are quoted separately for international orders. CoC attestation adds ₹450 per page beyond that, and MEA fee/handling vary by doc type, page count, and destination. We share a written, itemized quote before you proceed.
What if our incorporation certificate or POA is several years old?
Age alone isn't usually a problem — MEA apostilles the document as issued. What matters more is whether the company's details (registered address, directors, authorized signatory) still match current records; if they've changed, some recipients ask for a current CIN/GST extract alongside the older certificate. We'll flag this after reviewing your documents.
