What is the Difference between Marriage Certificate Attestation and Apostille?
Attestation is performed by the embassy of the destination country. An apostille is a specific certificate issued under the Hague Apostille Convention by the Ministry of External Affairs. The correct route depends on whether the destination country accepts apostilles or requires another form of legalization.

Does a Marriage Certificate need Translation before Attestation?
If the certificate is not in a language accepted by the destination authority, a certified translation may be required. Some countries require translation before accepting a document, while others request it afterward. Make sure you confirm the requirements of your destination country or authorities.
Does Marriage Certificate Attestation have an Expiry Date?
An apostille or attestation generally does not have a universal expiry date. However, the receiving authority may require a recently issued marriage certificate or impose its own validity period. Always check the destination country's current rules.
