Illinois Apostille for India
Degrees, birth certificates, and affidavits for use in India
In short: India is a member of the Hague Apostille Convention, so an Illinois document used in India needs a single apostille from the Illinois Secretary of State — no Indian embassy legalization. We apostille Illinois diplomas, birth certificates, and affidavits for use in India, by mail, whether you're in the U.S. or already in India.
Common documents & reasons
Degree and transcript apostille for jobs and OCI/visa paperwork; birth certificate for family visas or OCI; marriage certificate; and affidavits. Diplomas usually need to be notarized as a true copy first — we handle that.
