Verify Your Indian Apostille Online
An Apostille is an official form of authentication used for Indian public documents intended for use in countries that recognize the Hague Apostille Convention. For eligible documents, the official Government of India e-Sanad system can be used to verify whether Apostille or Attestation information is available in the official government verification system.
What Is an Apostille?
An Apostille is a form of document authentication used for international purposes. It confirms the authenticity of the signature or seal of the person or authority that signed or sealed the public document, allowing the document to be presented in another country that recognizes the Apostille system.
Indian documents may require Apostille authentication when they are being submitted abroad for purposes such as immigration, higher education, employment, marriage registration, business requirements or other official procedures. The exact requirements depend on the destination country and the authority receiving the document.
The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), Government of India, is the competent authority responsible for Apostille services in India. The e-Sanad platform also provides electronic submission and verification facilities for documents covered under its framework.
What Is a Digital or QR-Code Apostille?
Some electronically issued or digitally available documents may contain a QR code or another online verification mechanism. Where the QR code is connected to an official verification system, it can be scanned to access verification information and help confirm the origin of the Apostille or document.
A QR code by itself should not be treated as proof that a document is genuine. Users should check where the QR code leads and confirm that the information comes from the appropriate official authority or verification system.
This Apostille verification facility provides a convenient way for users to enter their Apostille or Attestation number and view the verification response obtained from the official e-Sanad system.
Benefits of Digitally Verifiable Apostille Documents
