Documents from India: three things to know

  • Police clearance certificates are issued through the Passport Seva system and are valid for a limited time. Do not apply too early.
  • Apostille is done by the Ministry of External Affairs, after state-level authentication for personal and educational documents.
  • Names must match across your passport, certificates and bank records. Fix differences before you apply.

Email yourself the checklist, or send it to a specialist for a document review.
