USA Apostille & Document Attestation

For the United States, Indian documents are legalised by an MEA apostille. The USA is a member of the Hague Apostille Convention, so there is no US embassy attestation of Indian documents. We apostille degrees, birth and marriage certificates, PCCs, powers of attorney and company documents for US courts, states, universities, employers and businesses.

  • Degrees, civil records, POA & company documents
  • State attestation + MEA apostille

USA requirements

Apostille, not US embassy attestation

People often search for US embassy attestation or USA certificate attestation. For Indian documents, the correct legalisation is the MEA apostille, added after state attestation (HRD, SDM or Chamber of Commerce).

Not every US use needs it. US immigration applications generally accept original civil documents with certified English translations. The apostille is usually needed for state-level and legal uses: courts, property, marriage, professional licensing and some universities. Credential evaluation (for example by an evaluation agency) is a separate service.
