Apostille for Azerbaijan
Heading to Baku to study medicine, work in the oil, gas or construction sector, or do business with Azerbaijani partners? Azerbaijan’s accession to the Hague Apostille Convention took effect on 2 March 2005 – a few months before India’s – and India did not object, so Indian public documents are authenticated with the MEA apostille. INFINITYGRO handles the apostille for Azerbaijan in Delhi.

apostille
An apostille for Azerbaijan is the MEA apostille on an Indian document already verified at source – the state education department or university for degrees, the board for school certificates, the home department or SDM for civil records, a chamber of commerce for company papers. Azerbaijani universities, the State Migration Service and employers accept it with a notarised Azerbaijani translation.
Azerbaijan embassy attestation is not needed – the apostille for Azerbaijan is
Some states objected to Azerbaijan’s accession, but India was not one of them, so the Convention applies between India and Azerbaijan. The Embassy of Azerbaijan in New Delhi does not legalise apostilled Indian documents.
Engineers recruited for Azerbaijani oil, gas and infrastructure projects usually need their degree and experience letters apostilled for the work permit; students need their 12th certificate and birth certificate.
