Apostille for Guyana

Guyana joined the Hague Apostille Convention with effect from 18 April 2019, so Indian public documents now need only the MEA apostille.

apostille
For an apostille for Guyana, engineering and technical qualifications are verified by the university, state education department or issuing body, experience letters by a notary and SDM, company documents by a chamber of commerce, and the MEA then adds its apostille. Guyanese ministries, contractors and registries accept these documents in English.
Guyana embassy attestation is no longer needed – the apostille for Guyana is
For years, a Guyanese contractor receiving Indian certificates had to wait for them to go through a chain of ministry and consular stamps. Since Guyana’s accession took effect in April 2019, that chain has been replaced: one MEA apostille on the Indian document is all that Georgetown requires, and the Convention operates between the two countries without objection.
Hiring in Guyana is driven by the Stabroek offshore developments and the onshore projects around them – shore bases, roads, housing and power. Engineers, welders, electricians and project managers from India are recruited for these, and their work permits are where the apostille for Guyana is used most.
