Apostille · Somwar Peth, Pune
Apostille service in Pune
An apostille is the stamp that makes an Indian document acceptable abroad. We prepare educational, personal and commercial documents for apostille by the Ministry of External Affairs, including the state-level attestation that has to happen first.
Documents we handle
The apostille itself is a single stamp. What takes the time is getting the document through the attestations that come before it, in the right order and from the right authority.
Usually asked for
Apostille or embassy attestation?
An apostille is accepted by countries in the Hague Convention. For other countries the document needs embassy attestation instead, which is a different route. Tell us the destination country and we will confirm which one applies before any work starts.
Where the document goes first
An apostille is the last stamp, not the first. Depending on what the document is and which state issued it, one or two attestations come before the Ministry of External Affairs.
Typical route
How your file moves
The same four steps for every document, whether it is a single birth certificate or a full set of educational papers.
Talk to us
Call, message on WhatsApp or walk into the Somwar Peth office. Tell us what you need and we will list out which documents apply to your specific case.
Document check
Every proof is verified before anything is submitted. This is where most applications go wrong, so this is where we spend the most time.
Filing and appointment
We complete the application, pay the government fee and book the earliest slot available to us at that time.
Visit and delivery
You are briefed on what happens at each counter. We then track the file and update you until it is done.
What you pay
Two separate amounts, always told to you before we begin. Nothing is added later.
What we can and cannot control
Processing time and the final decision rest with the Ministry of External Affairs and the attesting departments. What we take responsibility for is a complete and correctly sequenced file, and a clear update from us at every stage.
Tell us the destination country
Send a photo of the document and the country it is going to on WhatsApp. We will tell you whether it needs an apostille or embassy attestation, and what the route looks like.
