apostille
An apostille for Nicaragua is the MEA apostille added after source verification – a chamber of commerce for company documents, a notary and SDM for powers of attorney and agreements, the home department or SDM for birth, marriage and death certificates. Nicaraguan notaries, registries and courts accept it with a Spanish translation.
Nicaragua embassy attestation is no longer needed – the apostille for Nicaragua is
Until 2013, Indian documents for Nicaragua needed consular legalisation. Nicaragua’s accession to the Convention replaced that with the apostille, which applies with India.
Nicaraguan law relies heavily on notaries (notarios públicos), who also protocolise foreign documents. A notary in Managua typically receives your apostilled original, has it translated, and records it for use locally.
