Apostille for Slovakia
Joining an automotive plant, engineering firm or IT company in Bratislava, Žilina or Košice, studying in Slovakia, or bringing your family? Slovakia has applied the Hague Apostille Convention since 18 February 2002, so Indian public documents are authenticated with the MEA apostille. INFINITYGRO handles the apostille for Slovakia in Delhi; Slovak offices then need an official translation by a Slovak certified translator.

apostille
The apostille for Slovakia is the MEA apostille on an Indian document already verified at source: degrees and diplomas by the state education department or university, birth and marriage certificates by the home department or SDM, company papers by a chamber of commerce. Slovak foreign-police departments, employers and universities accept it, together with an official Slovak translation.
Slovakia embassy attestation is not needed – the apostille for Slovakia is
Slovakia joined the Convention in 2002 and India in 2005, with no objection between them, so the MEA apostille is fully recognised. The Slovak Embassy in New Delhi does not legalise apostilled documents.
For temporary residence for employment and EU Blue Card applications, Slovak authorities typically want the degree – often with recognition by the Slovak education ministry for regulated roles – and a police clearance. Both carry the apostille for Slovakia and an official Slovak translation.
