Quick answer

For an apostille for Albania, the MEA apostilles a Passport Seva PCC directly, and other documents after verification – degrees and diplomas by the issuing body or state, birth and marriage certificates by the home department or SDM. Albanian employers and the migration directorate accept these documents with a notarised Albanian translation.

Albania joined the Convention in 2004 and India in 2005, with no objection between them, so Albanian offices accept the MEA apostille as final.
