Apostille Services in
Hyderabad

Hyderabad is where we are actually based, which means this is the one city where we collect documents in person rather than asking you to find a courier counter. Birth and death certificates here come from GHMC, marriages are registered with the district Registrar, and the Telangana Home Department is the slower alternative to the SDM route we default to.

Worth knowing first

There is no apostille office in Hyderabad — or anywhere else.

An apostille is issued by the Ministry of External Affairs and by nobody else, and the MEA acceptsno document directly from an individual. Collection is handled through a small number of MEA-authorised agencies. Every "apostille centre" advertising in Hyderabad is routing your document through one of those channels. So do we — we just show you the price without a form first.

Local Detail

How It Works for Hyderabad Documents

Birth & death certificates

GHMC

Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation

Marriage certificates

Office of the Registrar of Marriages for the district, under the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 or the Special Marriage Act, 1954

Home Department — the slower alternative to the SDM

Home Department, Government of Telangana, Telangana Secretariat, Hyderabad

10–20+ days, against 3–7 through the SDM. We use it only where a destination or receiving institution requires it.

  • Birth and death certificates for the city are issued by GHMC through its circle offices and its online portal. A certificate from a surrounding municipality or gram panchayat outside the GHMC limits is equally valid — it is the registering authority named on the certificate that matters, not the city.

  • Marriages are registered with the district Registrar of Marriages. Telangana issues under both the Hindu Marriage Act and the Special Marriage Act, and some European civil registries specifically prefer the Special Marriage Act certificate because it records a civil act rather than a registration of a religious one.

  • The slower alternative to the SDM route for Telangana-issued documents is the Telangana Home Department at the Secretariat, which runs 10–20+ days against the SDM's 3–7. We default to the SDM and only use the Home Department where a destination or receiving institution specifically requires it.

  • Hyderabad's outbound volume skews heavily toward Germany, Canada and Australia for study and skilled migration — which means birth certificates, PCCs and experience certificates, usually needed as a set and usually against a visa deadline.

Getting Your Document To Us

Pickup in Hyderabad

Doorstep collection

Hyderabad is our base, so we collect from your address in the city and hand the apostilled original back the same way. We agree a collection window when you order rather than quoting a radius we would then have to argue about.

If a pickup window does not suit you, tracked courier works exactly as it does everywhere else and costs the same — at cost.

Courier is charged at what it actually costs and quoted before you pay — it is not bundled into the ₹2,100 and it is not marked up.

Before you order

An apostille only works for Hague Convention countries.

130 Contracting Parties as of 30 June 2026. The UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Egypt, Malaysia, Iraq and Iran are not among them — those need embassy attestation, and an apostille will be rejected. Bahrain, Oman and Saudi Arabia are members, which is where most people get the Gulf wrong.

FAQ

Apostille in Hyderabad — Common Questions

Where can I get an apostille in Hyderabad?

No office in Hyderabad issues apostilles. Only the Ministry of External Affairs does, and the MEA accepts no document directly from an individual — it is deposited through an MEA-authorised collection channel. What happens in Hyderabad is the pre-authentication stage and the collection of your document. We handle both, and we are based here.

Which office issues a birth certificate in Hyderabad for apostille?

GHMC — the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation — through its circle offices, for births registered within the city limits. A hospital-issued certificate is not a civil registration and cannot be apostilled. If your birth was registered outside the GHMC limits, the certificate from that municipality or panchayat is equally valid.

Do you offer doorstep pickup in Hyderabad?

Yes. Hyderabad is where we are based, so we collect from your address and return the apostilled original the same way. We agree a specific collection window when you order. We do not claim pickup in cities where we could not actually do it.

How long does apostille take in Hyderabad?

3–7 working days of processing through the SDM route — that is the SDM stage plus the MEA deposit. Local pickup and return in Hyderabad adds effectively nothing, which is the one real advantage of being in the city we operate from.
