For a married individual who is planning to travel abroad, a marriage certificate is the pivotal document that needs to be attested. Getting an apostille becomes very important if you want to use your marriage certificate in a country abroad. To facilitate the use of your certificate, it becomes extremely important to get it attested in an appropriate manner.
Make sure to get an apostille for your marriage certificate. It is a simple form of verification that renders legal status to your certificate.
In the following section, we’ll explore how the apostille renders credibility to your marriage certificate.
Here is a quick guide to marriage certificate apostille:
To get an apostille for your marriage certificate simply means getting it authenticated by a credible authority. It is a method where your certificate gets verified in a standard legal manner. The Apostille on a marriage certificate helps to get it recognised internationally.
Before obtaining an apostille, keep the following points in mind:
No. When traveling to a Hague Convention country, it is only required to obtain an apostille stamp from a credible authority. Further verification is only needed when one travels to a non-member country of the convention. In that case, additional verification by the embassy of the country is needed.
An apostille is issued in the form of a stamp, a seal, or maybe a sticker. There are two ways in which a document is issued :
An apostille, once issued, can help your document get recognition in all Hague Convention countries. The foreign authorities need to be certain that anyone visiting their country is traveling for genuine reasons. Apostille is that proof that helps the authorities to know the authenticity of your documents.
There is a unique identification number on an apostille issued on a document. This number allows the authorities to track down all basic information they need about a person.
To get the document attested adequately, one has to get it attested by a credible authority. In India, the Ministry of External Affairs holds the responsibility of issuing an apostille on various documents. After proper verification at the regional and state levels, the document is sent to MEA for final verification. At the final stage of document verification, the MEA issues an apostille at the back of the document. Upon receiving this stamp/sticker, a person’s document is considered to be attested in a standard and appropriate manner.
Usually, there is no expiration date of an apostille. However, a country may request documents that have been recently attested with an apostille. In most cases, an apostille does not have an expiration date, but there may be a time limit on how old it can be.
An Apostille is a French word that means Certification and it’s Pronounce as “ah-po-style”. An Apostille is simply the name for a specialized certificate, issued by the Ministry of External Affairs, New Delhi. The Apostille sticker is pasted on the backside of original document to verify it is legitimate and authentic, so it will be accepted in one of the other countries who are members of The Hague Apostille Convention.
The Apostille Convention is an international treaty that simplifies the legalization procedure for foreign public documents. It allows a Government body to certify a document issued in its own country as valid for other countries without further certification by the destination state. The Convention has 126 contracting states as of November 2023, including the United States and Canada.
The Apostille Convention provides the simplified certification of public (including notarized) documents to be used in countries that have joined the convention. Documents destined for use in participating countries and their territories should be certified by one of the officials in the jurisdiction in which the document has been executed.
The Hague Convention requires that all Apostille be numbered consecutively, with individual numbers applied to each Apostille issued. The recognized standard Apostille contains a seal and 10 mandatory references: name of country from which the document emanates, name of person signing the document, the capacity in which the person signing the document has acted, in the case of unsigned documents, the name of the authority that has affixed the seal or stamp, place of certification date of certification, the authority issuing the certificate, number of certificate, seal or stamp of authority issuing certificate and signature of authority issuing certificate. Prior to the introduction of Apostille certificates the burden on international courts and authorities to judge foreign documents as authentic was quite considerable. On the October 5, 1961 the Hague Convention abolished the requirement of legalization for foreign public documents. The Convention reduces all of the formalities of legalization to the simple delivery of a certificate in a prescribed form, entitled “Apostille”, by the authorities of the Ministry where the document originates. This certificate, placed on the document, is dated, numbered and registered. The verification of its registration can be carried out without difficulty by means of a simple request for information addressed to the authority which delivered the certificate.
Apostille Process depends that if the documents are Educational, Non Educational or Commercial. Educational Certificate Apostille is required if you are going for Job or Study in any of The Hague Convention Countries. Non Educational documents like Marriage, Birth Certificate Apostille services are required for your dependents, if you want them to accompany you in that country. Commercial documents Apostille is required if you want to send shipment, open a branch in Hague country of have to do some business collaboration. We will try to explain process for you.
First step of the Process is getting the Notarization of document done. Notary can be done from anywhere in India. And it can be done from Delhi also. Doing Notary from Delhi will save some time, as documents has to come to Delhi only for Apostille.
After the Notary is done, next step in Sub Divisional Magistrate. SDM attestation is done in Delhi. It’s same for Educational and Non Educational documents. If you leave few countries, this SDM Stamping is valid in all the countries. Some countries Like, Italy, Switzerland and Austria might ask for State HRD for Educational Documents and State home Department/GAD for Non Educational documents. So, if you are planning for these countries please get complete knowledge from office HR or local bodies who are applying your case. SDM Stamping is done in 1 day and on the backside of the original Document.
Last and most important part is getting the document attested from Ministry of External affairs. After Notary and SDM Stampings are done Documents are submitted in Ministry of External Affairs, New Delhi for Apostille. Just like Notary and SDM, Apostille Sticker is pasted on the back side of the document. Apostille sticker will have your name and current date. It also have unique number and contain name and designation of the person who have signed it. After Apostille sticker, the process is completed the documents are ready for use. When you receive the Apostille document, first please check that all the spellings and dates are fine. As sometimes there can be some mismatch in the spelling. If there is some spelling mistake then it has to submit in correction department. That will take another 1 day
If you are going through State Attestation Process then it might take more than a month. As for Educational documents, first stamp from University is required and then from State HRD Department. And for Non Educational Documents, First Stamp is required from Local DC office and then from State GAD/Home Department. If you go through SDM Apostille process then processing time is only 5 to 6 working. This Process takes less time and is less expensive as well.
Apostille Sticker has a validity of Six Months. Means you have to use this Apostille within 6 months, after that whole life you can stay in that country. But if you want to change the country after 6 Months then Apostille needs to done again. Don’t worry if there is no space on the backside of the document. New Apostille Sticker can be applied on the expired Sticker.
