## How Apostille Works for India

1

Identify which U.S. state issued the document (this determines where the apostille is obtained).

2

If the document is private (diploma, POA, corporate), have it notarized by a commissioned notary public.

3

Submit the document to the Secretary of State (or U.S. Department of State for federal documents) for the apostille.

4

Obtain a certified English/Hindi translation if required by India authorities.

5

Present the apostilled (and translated) document to the receiving authority in India.

## Apostille for India — FAQ

### Do I need an apostille or authentication for documents going to India?

India is a member of the Hague Apostille Convention, so U.S. documents only require an apostille from the issuing state's Secretary of State (or U.S. Department of State for federal documents). No embassy legalization is needed.

### How long does the apostille process take for India?

Standard processing typically takes 5–15 business days depending on the issuing state. We offer expedited 24–72 hour service for urgent India submissions. Federal documents handled by the U.S. Department of State usually take 8–12 weeks via mail or 1–2 weeks expedited.

### Do documents going to India need to be translated?

Yes, India typically requires a certified English/Hindi translation. We coordinate with sworn/certified translators familiar with India requirements to ensure your translated documents are accepted.

### Can I get an FBI background check apostilled for India?

Yes. FBI background checks are federal documents that must be apostilled by the U.S. Department of State in Washington, D.C. We handle the entire process — channeling, FBI report retrieval, and apostille — for use in India.

### What does it cost to apostille a document for India?

Costs vary by document type and the issuing state. State apostille fees range from $5–$30 per document, U.S. Department of State authentication is $20 per document, and our service fees include preparation, courier, and tracking. Call 833-430-6800 for a precise quote.

### Can a mobile notary handle apostille services for India?

Yes. 1MobileNotary handles the full process: mobile notarization at your location, document preparation, submission to the appropriate Secretary of State or U.S. Department of State, and return delivery — all formatted for acceptance in India.
