Birth Certificate Apostille in Hyderabad

Hyderabad children travel the world – to join a parent on an H-1B in Texas, to start school in Riyadh, or to settle in Sydney. Each journey usually starts with a GHMC birth certificate and an MEA apostille. Send the certificate by courier, or hand it over at our Delhi office, and we take care of the rest.

Quick answer

A birth certificate apostille in Hyderabad is the MEA sticker applied to a birth certificate issued by GHMC, the Secunderabad Cantonment Board or a surrounding municipality – including older certificates headed “Andhra Pradesh” from before 2014. From ₹1,500 per document, INFINITYGRO completes the notary, SDM and MEA work in Delhi within about two or three working days and returns the original by tracked courier.

Most Hyderabad births are registered by the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation, which issues certificates through its circles and lets families download them with a QR code. Births in Secunderabad Cantonment are registered by the Cantonment Board, and births in growing suburbs by the local municipality.

Anyone born in Hyderabad before June 2014 may have a certificate headed Andhra Pradesh. It is still a valid public document; MEA apostilles it without any reissue by Telangana.

If you only have the hospital’s birth card, download or request the registered certificate first – MEA apostilles only the registrar’s certificate.

School admission in Saudi Arabia: birth certificate apostille in Hyderabad

Hyderabad has deep links with the Gulf, and schools there ask for a legalised birth certificate when admitting a child. For Saudi Arabia:

  • An MEA apostille is now used, since Saudi Arabia joined the Apostille Convention.
  • Schools or the ministry may want an Arabic translation – we can arrange it.
  • For UAE, Kuwait or Qatar, the route is attestation plus embassy legalisation instead.
