Many families from Garhwal and Kumaon now live in Delhi or abroad, while their birth certificates were issued back home in Pauri, Almora or Tehri. You do not need to travel to the hills: bring the certificate to our Delhi office or courier it, and we get it apostilled by MEA for any Convention country.

A birth certificate apostille in Uttarakhand is the Ministry of External Affairs apostille placed on a birth certificate from an Uttarakhand registrar – Nagar Nigam (Dehradun, Haridwar, Haldwani, Roorkee…), Nagar Palika, cantonment board or panchayat-level registrar in the hills. The whole Delhi chain – notarisation, SDM attestation and the MEA apostille – takes about two to three working days with us and costs from ₹1,500, return parcel included.

Born before 2000? Your Uttarakhand certificate may say Uttar Pradesh
Uttarakhand was carved out of Uttar Pradesh in November 2000. People born earlier in Dehradun, Nainital or Pauri often hold a certificate headed Uttar Pradesh. It remains a valid public document, and MEA apostilles it as printed.
Newer certificates come from Nagar Nigams in the plains and larger towns, cantonment boards in military stations such as Lansdowne and Ranikhet, and panchayat-level registrars in hill villages.
If a hill-village certificate is faded or handwritten, ask the registrar for a fresh copy; otherwise send it as it is.
