An apostille from the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) makes your Indian Marriage Registration Certificate valid in Hague Convention countries. You can choose:
- Sticker Apostille (General): physical MEA sticker on your certificate.
- e-Apostille (QR): digital apostille with an MEA QR code for online verification.
For non-Hague destinations, we handle the full attestation chain (Notary → State/SDM → MEA → Embassy/Consulate).

Timelines
Most marriage-certificate apostilles complete in ~2–3 working days once documents are in process.
If the receiving authority demands State Home Department (not SDM) or you need a fresh reprint/translation, timelines may extend; we’ll share your firm ETA upfront.
Original vs Copy
- Family/dependent visa and civil offices often require the original with Sticker.
- If the authority accepts e-Apostille, a scan/notarized copy may be enough and easier to reuse.
- We always follow the recipient’s written requirement to avoid delays.
Special Cases
- Court marriage / Arya Samaj: Valid only with the Marriage Registration Certificate. Ceremony certificates can be attached as supporting documents.
- Name/surname change after marriage: We guide on affidavit vs Gazette vs municipal correction.
- Old/faded certificate: Get a fresh reprint from municipal records before apostille for best acceptance.
- Couple abroad: A parent/relative can submit locally with authorization.
