Apostille for Cyprus
Studying in Nicosia or Limassol, taking up work in Cyprus, planning a destination wedding, joining family, or setting up a company? Cyprus has applied the Hague Apostille Convention since 30 April 1973, so Indian public documents need the MEA apostille – not legalisation by the High Commission of Cyprus. INFINITYGRO completes the apostille for Cyprus in Delhi, and because Cypriot offices widely use English, most documents need no translation.

apostille
An Indian document headed to Cyprus is first confirmed by its issuing authority in India – the home department or SDM for a birth certificate, a notary and SDM for a single-status affidavit, the board or state education department for academic records – and then receives the apostille for Cyprus from the MEA. Cypriot municipalities, colleges and the migration department accept it with no High Commission stamp.
Cyprus embassy attestation is not needed – the apostille for Cyprus is
India and Cyprus are both parties to the Apostille Convention, so the High Commission of Cyprus in New Delhi does not legalise Indian public documents. Cypriot offices rely on the MEA apostille and its QR code.
Cyprus is also a popular place for couples to marry. Municipal marriage offices typically ask for an apostilled birth certificate and a single-status declaration for each partner, and many accept documents in English. That makes the apostille for Cyprus one of the simpler European files to prepare.

Do you need a translation for Cyprus?
Rarely. English is widely used in Cypriot administration, and most offices accept Indian documents issued in English. Only documents or stamps in Hindi or another Indian language need a translation into English or Greek, made after the apostille.
We check every page and translate only what is needed. See our Greek translation services.
