MEA Apostille & Document Attestation Services in India
Get your personal, educational, and commercial documents apostilled and attested for use in Germany and across the world — coordinated through authorized channels and paired with certified translation.
What is MEA Apostille?
An apostille is an internationally recognised certificate that authenticates the origin of a public document. In India, it is issued by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) under the Hague Convention of 1961. Once a document carries the MEA apostille stamp, it is accepted in all member countries — including Germany and the rest of Europe — without any further embassy legalisation.
Wordscale coordinates MEA apostille and document attestation through authorized channels and, where required, pairs it with a certified translation so your documents are ready for visas, universities, employers, and government authorities abroad.

Apostille FAQs
Apostille & Attestation
An apostille is a certificate issued under the Hague Convention of 1961 that authenticates the origin of a public document so it is recognised in all member countries without further legalisation. In India, apostille is issued by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA).
Attestation is the broader process of verifying a document through various authorities (notary, state departments, embassy). An apostille is a specific form of attestation issued by the MEA for countries that are part of the Hague Convention — it replaces the need for embassy legalisation in those countries.
Yes. Germany is a Hague Convention member, so documents apostilled by the MEA in India are accepted there. We coordinate the apostille through authorized channels and can pair it with a certified German translation prepared in submission-ready format.
Personal documents (birth, marriage, police clearance, affidavits), educational documents (degrees, transcripts, diplomas), and commercial documents (incorporation papers, agreements, invoices) can all be apostilled.
It depends on the destination country and authority. Many German and European authorities require a certified translation of the apostilled document. We can handle both together so your documents are ready for submission.
