Apostille Procedure
The procedure for authenticating a death certificate for use abroad consists of three steps of verification.
Step1: Notarization is needed for the Death certificate
The Apostille process begins with having the Death Certificate certified by a Notary Public. This government officer validates the signatures and guarantees that the document is original and not forged.
Step2: SDM/ Home Department Verification
The death certificate will be sent to the appropriate government officials: the State Home Department or the Sub-Divisional Magistrate (SDM), based on state or embassy’s regulations. Here, they check the document’s authenticity within the state.
Step3: Get an apostilled death Certificate from MEA
After that, your document is delivered to the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) in Delhi, which is the final stage. The MEA examines death certificates and issues a unique apostilled stamp, indicating that they can be used in any country that is a signatory to the Hague Convention.
