Apostille for Algeria
Algeria is the newest country on our list: its accession to the Hague Apostille Convention took effect on 9 July 2026. Before that, Indian documents for Algeria went through Algerian Embassy legalisation. Now – with no objection from India – the MEA apostille is the authentication for Indian public documents. INFINITYGRO completes the apostille for Algeria in Delhi for construction, energy and pharma projects and for families.

apostille
For an apostille for Algeria, company papers are attested by a chamber of commerce, degrees verified by the state education department or university, experience letters notarised and SDM-attested, and a Passport Seva PCC taken directly to the MEA for the apostille. Since 9 July 2026, Algerian authorities should accept these documents without embassy legalisation, together with an Arabic or French translation.
Algeria embassy attestation replaced by the apostille for Algeria
Because the change is so recent, some Algerian offices, employers or tender committees may still be updating their procedures. The legal position is clear – the Convention applies between India and Algeria from 9 July 2026 – but we recommend asking the receiving office to confirm they accept the apostille before you submit. If any office still insists on embassy legalisation during the transition, tell us and we will advise on the options.
Indian engineering, construction and energy firms working on Algerian projects, and pharma exporters registering products, are the main users of the apostille for Algeria.
