Apostille for Czech Republic
Starting work in Prague or Brno on an Employee Card or EU Blue Card, enrolling at a Czech university, joining family or marrying in the Czech Republic? The Czech Republic (Czechia) has applied the Hague Apostille Convention since 16 March 1999, so Indian public documents need the MEA apostille – not legalisation by the Czech Embassy. INFINITYGRO completes the apostille for Czech Republic in Delhi and arranges the official Czech translation most offices require.

apostille
An apostille for Czech Republic is the MEA apostille on an Indian public document after verification by the competent Indian authority – the state education department for degrees, the home department or SDM for birth and marriage certificates, a chamber of commerce for company papers. The Czech Ministry of the Interior, registry offices and universities accept it without Czech Embassy legalisation. Most offices then need an official Czech translation by a court-appointed translator.
Czech Republic embassy attestation is not needed – the apostille for Czech Republic is
India and the Czech Republic are both members of the Apostille Convention, and the Czech side did not object to India’s accession. The Czech Embassy in New Delhi therefore does not legalise Indian public documents; Czech offices accept the MEA apostille.
The Czech step that most often delays files is translation. Czech authorities generally require an official translation into Czech by a court-registered translator (soudní překladatel), stitched to the document with a translator’s clause. Get the apostille for Czech Republic first so it is translated too.

Official Czech translation for the apostille for Czech Republic
Most Czech offices accept foreign documents only with an official Czech translation by a court-appointed translator, bound to the original or a certified copy. Some universities accept English for admission, but residence and registry files almost always need Czech. The translation is made after the apostille and covers it.
We prepare an accurate working translation and coordinate the official version for your Czech office. See our translation services.
