Attestation Notes
The legalisation/attestation requirement flows from MEA policy and MCA Guidelines. India is a member of the Hague Apostille Convention, 1961, and the Ministry of External Affairs is the competent authority for apostille. MEA guidelines state that apostille is the form of legalisation acceptable among member countries and that an apostilled document is to be treated as a “legalised” document in India without further consular attestation. So, when incorporation documents are executed abroad and are to be used in India, they must be first notarised in the country of execution and then either apostilled (Hague country) or consularly attested (non‑Hague), in line with these MEA rules
Hague member countries: notarisation + apostille
Non-Hague countries: notarisation + consularisation / embassy authentication
If any document is in a language other than English, a certified English translation must also be provided and attested along with the original.
If the foreign individual comes to India and signs on a valid business visa, some jurisdictions accept local notarisation; otherwise, Indian Embassy / Consulate attestation in the home country is generally followed.
Practical Note
Share the soft copy with MACS Edge before attestation, since it helps in preparing the documents first and allows all required documents to be attested in a single visit.
