Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Do personal documents use HRD or SDM?
Personal documents (birth, marriage, PCC, affidavits) typically go Notary → SDM → MEA. HRD is generally for education documents. We confirm your exact route after a quick review.
Original vs scan — what does MEA accept?
For Sticker apostille, originals are commonly needed. For e-Apostille (QR), good scans may be accepted if the destination allows. Some states still ask for originals — we confirm upfront.
How long does it take?
SDM → MEA cases usually complete in ~2–3 working days once in process. If extra verification or reissue is required, we’ll share a realistic ETA before payment.
How much does it cost?
Our SDM bundle is ₹2,000 per document (Notary + SDM (Delhi) + MEA + premium pickup/return). Multi-document discounts apply automatically.
Will I get tracking and updates?
Yes — you’ll receive an order ID, proactive WhatsApp/email updates at each step, e-copy/QR where applicable, and secure courier return of originals.
