US Apostille Services
in Kochi
Kerala's global workforce is like nowhere else in India — nurses, engineers, and seafarers who've worked in the US and are now heading to the Gulf, applying for OCI, or settling matters back home in Kochi. Nearly every one of those paths eventually demands an apostilled FBI PCC or US document, and the apostille can only be issued in the USA. That's the part we do.
Why No Office in Kochi Can Apostille a US Document
A US document is apostilled by the US Department of State in Washington, DC (federal documents like the FBI PCC) or by the issuing state's Secretary of State — never by an office in Kochi, the Norka centres, or India's MEA, which handles Indian documents only.
Kerala's attestation industry is built around Indian certificates going to the Gulf — a completely different chain. A US-issued document flows the other way: it must return to the USA for its apostille before any Indian or Gulf authority will accept it.
Veritas is the US-side operation: you courier from Kochi, we submit in person to the State Department, photograph the attached apostille, and DHL the original back to Kerala with tracking.
How It Works from Kochi
Message us on WhatsApp
A real person confirms what your document needs, quotes the exact price, and shares our US mailing address — before you ship anything from Kochi.
Courier your original from Kochi
DHL and FedEx counters on MG Road, in Kakkanad near Infopark, and across Ernakulam handle international document envelopes, with home pickup available throughout Kochi, and courier access from Thrissur and Kottayam nearby. Transit to our US address is typically 4–5 business days. WhatsApp us first for packing instructions.
We process it in the USA
We photograph and inspect your document on arrival, notarize where required, and submit it in person to the correct US authority — the US Department of State for federal documents like the FBI PCC.
Apostilled original back to Kochi
Once the apostille is attached we send you a photo, then ship the original back to your address with full tracking. You get WhatsApp updates at all 7 milestones.
Who in Kochi Needs a US Apostille
Healthcare professionals
Kerala nurses and doctors with US work history need FBI PCC apostilles for Gulf employment files, DataFlow verifications, and onward licensing.
Gulf employment chains
Moving from the US to the UAE or Saudi? The FBI PCC needs its US Department of State authentication first — the step everything else builds on. We handle it.
OCI & family matters in Kerala
US-born children's birth certificates and returnees' FBI PCCs must be apostilled for OCI applications filed from Kerala — mandatory since December 2024.
Our specialty is the FBI background check apostille via the US Department of State. For state-issued documents — birth certificates, degrees & transcripts, marriage certificates — we route to the correct Secretary of State.
