Apostille for Serbia
Recruited for a job in Belgrade or Novi Sad – in construction, delivery, manufacturing or IT – or joining family or studying in Serbia? Serbia continues the Hague Apostille Convention obligations of the former Yugoslavia, with effect from 27 April 1992, so Indian public documents are authenticated with the MEA apostille. INFINITYGRO completes the apostille for Serbia in Delhi, including the police clearance most Serbian employers ask for.

apostille
An apostille for Serbia is the MEA apostille on an Indian document that has first been confirmed at source – nothing is needed beforehand for a Passport Seva PCC, a degree goes through the state education department, and birth or marriage certificates through the home department or SDM. Serbian employers, the police and registry offices accept it, usually with a Serbian translation by a court interpreter.
Serbia embassy attestation is not needed – the apostille for Serbia is
Serbia is bound by the Apostille Convention as a successor of the former Yugoslavia, and India joined in 2005; the Convention applies between them. Serbian offices therefore accept the MEA apostille, and the Serbian Embassy in New Delhi does not legalise apostilled Indian documents.
Since Indian citizens need a visa for Serbia, employers typically collect the police clearance and qualification documents early to apply for the single permit. Having the apostille for Serbia ready from the start keeps that timeline short.

Serbian translation after the apostille for Serbia
Serbian authorities normally ask for a translation into Serbian made by a court interpreter (sudski tumač), stamped and bound to the document. This is done after the apostille and covers the sticker. Employers in Serbia often arrange it once the apostilled originals arrive.
We provide English translations of Indian-language documents first, where needed. See our translation services.

FeesApostille for Serbia – fees
The Passport Seva PCC used for Serbian work permits is MEA-ready, so only the apostille is charged.
Experience letters and declarations that must be notarised go through notary and SDM in Delhi first.
Degree or trade-certificate verification and home-department verification of civil certificates are quoted separately. For agencies sending many workers, ask about batch handling on WhatsApp.
Recruitment agencies placing workers in Serbia can send PCCs in batches. We track each worker’s document separately and share scans per worker as soon as each apostille for Serbia is ready.
