Do you need to apostille your Power of Attorney for India?
COVID 19 Update: Because of the ongoing travel restrictions to India and that the Consulate offices do not allow walk in service, the best way for the country of India to accept your documents is to obtain an apostille.
Please note that once your power of attorney has been signed and notarized, it must then receive the apostille from the Secretary of State’s office. We can apostille documents signed and notarized in all 50 States and the District of Columbia (United States Apostille). Once you receive the documents back with the apostille, you will then need to contact the Consulate General of India for instructions on how to attest your power of attorney through the Consulate office. We can only assist you with the apostille service. Apostille, Inc. does not provide Embassy or Consulate attestation for India.
A power of attorney needs to be signed and witnessed by two individuals (with their names and addresses clearly mentioned).
In many places in India, they would easily recognize the attestation by the Indian Embassy/Consulate and hence may ask for attested copy despite the document receiving the apostille from the Secretary of State’s office. Hence, to avoid any inconvenience, please have your power of attorney apostilled and then attested by the Embassy/Consulate office.
The country of India has one Embassy in Washington DC and five Consulates in the United States. The Consulates are located in the following areas:
- California (San Francisco)
- Texas (Houston)
- New York (NYC)
- Chicago (Illinois)
- Georgia (Atlanta)
Please contact the Embassy or Consulate office for instructions before you begin to process your document. You may be asked to notarize additional documentation to show proof that you are currently a U.S. resident. Common documents they will ask are:
- U.S Driving license
- Water or landline telephone bill displaying applicant’s address
- House Lease Agreement
- Bank/credit card/mobile phone statements
