Apostille Services in Ludhiana: Apostille and Attestation
Planning a Canada study permit, an Australian PR file or an export shipment? Our apostille services in Ludhiana run by courier: the original goes from Ludhiana to our Delhi desk overnight, gets the notary and SDM stamps, the MEA apostille or attestation and, for Gulf buyers or employers, the embassy. Punjab HRD can be added for LPU, PSBTE, IKGPTU and Punjabi University certificates.
Apostille services in Ludhiana: quick answer
Ludhiana parcels usually reach Delhi the next working day. The notary, SDM and MEA apostille then take about 2–3 working days, and the document is back in Ludhiana a day after it leaves us.
Hosiery and auto-parts exporters, and workers heading to Dubai or Kuwait, need attestation services in Ludhiana rather than the apostille: chamber or SDM, MEA attestation, then the buyer’s or employer’s embassy in New Delhi, at that embassy’s own fee.
Ludhiana families, factories and the MEA
Malwa families send students and spouses to Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the UK in very large numbers. Those files ask for apostilled PSEB marksheets, degrees, birth certificates and marriage certificates, and the apostille itself is issued only in Delhi.
Ludhiana is also an industrial city. Knitwear, bicycle and auto-component exporters need Certificates of Origin, invoices and Power of Attorney legalised through a Chamber of Commerce and the MEA before they reach buyers abroad.

Apostille services in Ludhiana: FAQs
Where can I get apostille services in Ludhiana?
By tracked courier to INFINITYGRO, C-5 A/2, New Ashok Nagar, Delhi 110096. A Ludhiana parcel usually arrives the next working day and goes back once the apostille is done. We have no Ludhiana counter and offer no home pickup.
Does Canada want apostilled documents from Punjab?
Canada has applied the Apostille Convention since January 2024, so when IRCC, a Canadian college or a provincial body asks for authenticated Indian documents, the MEA apostille is the step. Many visa files need only clear copies, so follow your own checklist.
Do you attest documents for Ludhiana exporters?
Yes. Certificates of Origin, invoices and Power of Attorney go through a Chamber of Commerce and the MEA, and then the buyer’s embassy for Gulf and other non-Hague countries. Each document is quoted separately.
Which Punjab universities does your Punjab HRD cover?
LPU, PSBTE, IKGPTU and Punjabi University. Punjab HRD usually takes 45–50 working days, or 50–55 for LPU. For other universities, the Delhi route with the MEA apostille is the usual answer.
What are attestation services in Ludhiana?
They apply when a country is outside the Hague Apostille Convention, for example the UAE, Qatar, Kuwait or China. The paper is attested by the MEA and then legalised by that embassy in New Delhi, with a fee each embassy sets.
What do apostille services in Ludhiana cost?
Notary, SDM attestation and the MEA apostille are charged together per document; the current figure is in the charges table on this page. Courier to Ludhiana and other locations in India is charged according to distance, and courier outside India is extra.
