From Chandigarh, Mohali or Panchkula the original usually reaches our Delhi office the next day. It is notarised, attested by the SDM and apostilled by the MEA, normally within 2–3 working days of arrival, and then couriered back.

Chandigarh, Canada and the Delhi route
Chandigarh and the surrounding Punjab and Haryana districts send a very large number of students and families to Canada, Australia and the UK. Visa and immigration files often need an apostilled birth certificate, marriage certificate or degree, and the MEA apostille is done in Delhi.
Delhi is only about 250 km away, so the courier is fast. You keep your passport with you; only the certificate travels, and it comes back with the apostille sticker attached.

Punjabi families also move to Italy and Portugal, which take the apostille too, often with a translation. Gulf jobs need MEA attestation and the embassy stamp instead.

Punjab and Haryana HRD for Chandigarh files
Chandigarh itself is a Union Territory and is not on our HRD list, but Punjab and Haryana are. We arrange Punjab HRD (LPU, PSBTE, IKGPTU, Punjabi University; usually 45–50 working days, LPU 50–55) and Haryana HRD (usually 40–45). For Canada, Australia and the UK, HRD is normally not needed: the Delhi route with the MEA apostille is accepted. See the States, universities and documents on our HRD attestation page. MEA attestation in Chandigarh files then follows in Delhi as usual.

Do I need an apostille for a Canada visa or PR file?
