Apostille for Armenia
Planning to study general medicine in Yerevan, take up a job in Armenia, or register a marriage there? Armenia has been part of the Hague Apostille Convention since 14 August 1994, so Indian school and civil documents are authenticated with the MEA apostille rather than an Armenian consular stamp. INFINITYGRO prepares the apostille for Armenia in Delhi and keeps parents updated at every stage.

apostille
For Armenia, an Indian 12th certificate is first verified by the school board or state education department and a birth certificate by the home department or SDM; the MEA then issues the apostille for Armenia on each. Armenian universities, the migration service and civil registry accept these apostilled originals, translated into Armenian locally.
Armenia embassy attestation is not needed – the apostille for Armenia is enough
Armenia has accepted apostilles since 1994, long before India joined in 2005, and there is no objection between the two countries. That is why no stamp from the Armenian Embassy is involved once the MEA apostille is on the document.
Universities in Yerevan typically ask for the apostilled 12th certificate and birth certificate, then arrange a certified Armenian translation themselves. Parents mainly need to make sure the student’s name is spelled identically on every paper before we start.

Armenian translation for the apostille for Armenia
Armenian authorities work in Armenian. After the apostille, documents are translated into Armenian and the translation is certified in Armenia – most universities organise this for their students on arrival. English-language Indian documents are otherwise read directly for admission.
For any Hindi-language certificate, we prepare an English translation beforehand. See our Russian translation services for offices that prefer Russian.

FeesApostille for Armenia – fees
If a document needs nothing before the MEA – a Passport Seva PCC, for example – the cost is just the apostille.
Parents’ financial-support affidavits are notarised, SDM-attested and apostilled in one go.
Verification of the 12th certificate by the board depends on the state and is quoted once we know which board issued it. One WhatsApp message with the admission letter gets you the full Armenia quote.
Armenian universities often start classes in September. Board verification can take one to two weeks in some states, so begin the apostille for Armenia as soon as the admission letter arrives.
