Argentina Apostille Requirements for Your Documents

Argentina Apostille Requirements – SK Document Centre

Short answer: Argentina is a member of the Hague Apostille Convention, so Indian documents for Argentina need state attestation and an MEA apostille, with no embassy legalisation. Most Argentine authorities then require a Spanish translation by a certified public translator in Argentina.

Searches about Argentina apostille requirements and apostille Argentina birth certificate are common, and some results confuse Argentina’s rules for different countries. This is what applies to documents issued in India.

Step by step

State attestation: HRD for educational documents, SDM or Home Department for personal documents, Chamber of Commerce for commercial documents.
MEA apostille: the Ministry of External Affairs adds the apostille.
Spanish translation: usually by a certified public translator (traductor público) in Argentina, whose signature may also be legalised by the local translators’ association.

Common documents

Purpose	Documents
Residence	Birth certificate, PCC, marriage certificate
Study	Degree, transcripts, school certificates
Work	Degree, experience letters
Business	Company documents, POA

Things to check

Your name must match across documents and passport
Ask whether the PCC must be recent (many offices want one issued within the last few months)
Translate after the apostille, so the apostille is translated too
