Legalization for India

Legalization of documents for India is carried out using an apostille. This process authenticates the documents in the country of issue and verifies their legitimacy. Once apostilled, additional legalization in either India or the country of issue is unnecessary. However, Germany is an exception, as it does not recognize the apostille between the two countries. Consequently, a lengthy and complex legalization process in India is required for German documents. Government documents must follow these steps:

• Pre-authentication at the relevant authority in Germany
• Translation by a sworn translator
• Copies and translations must be firmly and permanently attached to each other
• Legalization by the Embassy of India
