Fiji and India are both parties to the Apostille Convention, so the Fiji High Commission does not legalise apostilled Indian documents.
Many Fiji files involve families of Indian origin: proving relationships for inheritance, giving a relative power of attorney over land, or registering births and marriages. These need home-department-verified certificates and notarised powers of attorney with the apostille for Fiji.
