Why Apostille Documents for India
If you need to use a UK document in India for an OCI application, property transaction, inheritance matter or family law case, it will need an Apostille certificate. UK Powers of Attorney, birth and death certificates and passports are the most commonly apostilled UK documents for Indian use.
India is a member of the Hague Apostille Convention, with the Convention having entered into force in 2005. Once your UK document has been apostilled by the FCDO, no further attestation at the Indian High Commission is needed for it to be accepted by Indian authorities.
