Going to Philippines for work, studies, marriage or family? Here's exactly what your Indian documents need — and how we get it done for you, from state attestation to the final stamp.
Philippines requirements
Short answer: Philippines is a member of the Hague Apostille Convention (member since 14 May 2019). Indian documents for Philippines need state attestation and then an MEA apostille. No embassy attestation is needed.
The Philippines joined the Apostille Convention in May 2019. Before that, documents went to the Philippine Embassy for authentication. Now an MEA apostille is all an Indian document needs.
Documents
Every type follows the same final step but starts at a different state authority.
