The Complete Journey

Pick the line your order is on — the stages are genuinely different.

India-issued · for use abroad

India-issued documents — MEA apostille

Step 01

Order Confirmed

We've confirmed the document, the destination country and the route on WhatsApp, and told you where to courier the original — or arranged collection details if a relative is handing it over.

📦
Step 02

Original Received

Your original has reached us. We inspect it against the requirements of its route before anything is submitted — lamination, name mismatches and issuer variants are caught here, not three weeks later.

Step 03

Notarised (if required)

Privately-made documents — affidavits, powers of attorney, employer letters — are attested by a Notary Public with their seal and register number. Government-issued certificates skip this stage entirely.

Step 04

Submitted to the SDM

The Sub-Divisional Magistrate pre-authenticates the document, verifying the issuing authority or the notary's register entry. This is the longest stage and the one nobody can shortcut.

Step 05

SDM Cleared

The SDM attestation is on the document and we photograph it for your records. It is now something the MEA can act on.

MEA Apostille Issued

Deposited through an MEA-authorised collection channel — the Ministry accepts nothing directly from individuals — and the apostille sticker with its QR code and unique number is affixed.

Tracking FAQ

Tracking your apostille — common questions

How do I check the status of my apostille order?
Message us on WhatsApp with your full name and the date you shipped your document. We reply within about 2 hours during business hours (Mon–Sat, 9AM–8PM IST) with exactly which of the 7 milestones your order is at. We also proactively update you at every stage, so you'll usually know before you even ask.
How will I know when my document reaches the US Department of State?
When we notarize and physically submit your FBI PCC at the US Department of State walk-in office in Washington, DC (Step 04), we send you a confirmation. Once the apostille is attached (Step 05), we photograph it and send you the picture before we ship it back.
Can I track the shipment myself?
Yes. We share the tracking number both when you ship the document to us and when we ship the apostilled original back to India, so you can follow it directly on the courier's website at any time.
How long until my apostilled document reaches India?
Total door-to-door time is roughly 3–4 weeks on Economy, 2–3 weeks on Standard, and 1–2 weeks on Express service — including courier transit both ways. See the tier table above for a stage-by-stage breakdown.
What information should I keep handy for status checks?
Your full name, the date you shipped, your tracking number if you have it, and your chosen service tier (Economy, Standard, or Express). With those, we can pull up your order instantly.
What happens if my document is delayed at the US Department of State?
Government processing times can occasionally run longer than the estimate. If that happens, we tell you proactively on WhatsApp rather than leaving you guessing, and we monitor the submission until the apostille is issued.
