Belarus Embassy Attestation & Apostille Fees in India (2026)
How to make degree, birth, marriage, PCC and commercial documents valid in Belarus, whether they were issued in India, Nepal, Bangladesh or Sri Lanka.
Quick answer: Belarus is a member of the Hague Apostille Convention, so most Indian documents for Belarus need an MEA apostille, not Belarus Embassy attestation. Our charge starts from ₹2,500 for educational and personal documents and ₹1,000–₹1,500 for a Passport Seva PCC. Documents issued in Nepal, Bangladesh or Sri Lanka follow a different route: first that country's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, then legalisation by the Belarus Embassy in New Delhi.
Who needs documents legalised for Belarus?
Belarus is a popular choice for Indian students, especially for medical studies, and it also attracts Indian professionals and exporters. In each case, Belarusian universities, employers and government offices need proof that your Indian documents are genuine.
Students usually need their marksheets, school certificates and birth certificate. Workers need degrees, experience letters and a Police Clearance Certificate. Companies need invoices, Certificates of Origin, Power of Attorney and registration papers.

Apostille or Belarus Embassy attestation?
Many people still search for "Belarus Embassy attestation" because older guides describe it. Since Belarus is in the Hague Apostille Convention, an MEA apostille replaces the embassy stamp. That means fewer steps, lower cost and faster delivery.
Before you start, check with your university, employer or the Belarusian office. If they specifically ask for embassy legalisation, tell us and we will follow that route instead.
MEA apostille (usual for Belarus)
- One MEA sticker, accepted across Belarus
- No visit to the Belarus Embassy
- Lower cost and shorter time
Embassy attestation (only if asked)
- State and MEA attestation, then the Belarus Embassy stamp
- More steps and a separate embassy fee
- Use only when a Belarusian authority requires it in writing
You can confirm Belarus's status on the official HCCH Apostille Convention status table.

- Using an Indian apostille on a foreign document: documents issued in Nepal, Bangladesh or Sri Lanka must go through their own Ministry of Foreign Affairs first.
- Laminated documents: they cannot be stamped. Send unlaminated originals.
- Name mismatches: the name on each document should match the passport.
