Apostille for Poland
Poland has been a member of the Hague Apostille Convention since 2005, and it applies between India and Poland. Indian documents for Polish employers, universities and voivodeship offices need the MEA apostille – not Polish Embassy legalisation. INFINITYGRO handles the apostille for Poland in Delhi and helps you plan the Polish sworn translation (tłumacz przysięgły).

apostille
An apostille for Poland is the MEA apostille on an Indian document after verification by the issuing authority in India. Polish voivodeship offices, universities, employers and civil registry offices accept it without Polish Embassy legalisation. For official use in Poland, documents are normally translated into Polish by a sworn translator (tłumacz przysięgły).
Poland embassy attestation is replaced by the apostille for Poland
Both India and Poland are parties to the 1961 Apostille Convention, so the Polish Embassy in New Delhi does not legalise Indian public documents. The final Indian stamp is the MEA apostille with a QR code.
The part Poland is strict about is translation: voivodeship offices, courts and civil registries usually accept only translations by a Polish sworn translator. Universities and employers are sometimes more flexible – we check before you pay.

Apostille for Poland sample – what the MEA apostille looks like
This is a real apostille for Poland on an Indian degree certificate, with personal details hidden. Read it from top to bottom: the notary stamp, then the SDM (Sub-Divisional Magistrate) stamp, and finally the MEA apostille sticker issued by the Ministry of External Affairs, New Delhi. The sticker carries a unique apostille number and a QR code, so the receiving office in Poland can check it online instead of asking you for embassy legalisation.
