Document Legalisation Coordination
For countries not party to the Hague Apostille Convention, an Indian marriage certificate instead needs embassy or consular legalisation to be recognised abroad.
Marriage & Legal Assistance
What This Service Means
We coordinate the legalisation chain — typically state authentication, MEA attestation, and then the destination country's embassy in India — for documents headed to a non-Hague country.
Who This Is For
- ✓Couples whose destination country is not a Hague Apostille Convention member
- ✓NRIs needing an Indian marriage certificate recognised by a non-Hague country's authorities
What We Coordinate
How the Process Works
Attestation chain
We coordinate state and MEA attestation as prerequisites for embassy legalisation.
Embassy legalisation
We submit the document to the relevant embassy or consulate for final legalisation.
Collection
We track and coordinate collection once legalisation is complete.
Planning Considerations
- — This is typically a multi-step, multi-week process — start well ahead of when the document is needed abroad
- — Each embassy has its own submission process and fees

FAQ
How is this different from an apostille?+
An apostille is a single-step authentication for Hague Convention countries; legalisation is a multi-step chain required for countries outside that convention.
