Note: With effect from March 14, 2011, the Passport Office, Goa has been authorized by the Ministry of

External Affairs to collect the documents, duly authenticated by the designated officers of the State Government

of Goa, and deliver the same to the applicants after due attestation/apostille by the CPV Division Patiala

House, Tilak Marg Ministry of External Affairs, New Delhi.

Procedure:All original documents requiring attestation or Apostille should be first authenticated by the

designated agencies in the State from where the document has been issued. In case of personal documents,

Home Department/General Administration Department are the designated authorities. In case of educational

documents, the documents should first be authenticated by the Education Department of the concerned State

Government/Union Territory. The details of the Regional Authentication Centre (RACs) in the States/UTs from

where the documents should first be authenticated are given below. The Ministry of External Affairs attests the

documents on the basis of the signature of the designated signing authorities of the State Government/Union

Territory/Chambers of Commerce; hence it does not take responsibility of the contents of the documents.

Commercial Documents are to be pre-authenticated by the respective Chambers of Commerce before these

can be attested by the Ministry of External Affairs.

Apostille:India is a member of the Hague Convention of October 5, 1961, abolishing the requirement of

legalization of foreign public documents. Apostille is acceptable in 98 member-countries of the Convention -

like birth/death/marriage certificates, Affidavits, Power of Attorney, etc., and educational documents like degree,

diploma, matriculation and secondary level certificates etc.

As a result to outsourcing of receipt of documents for attestation, no document from individuals will be

accepted after 27-07-2012 (Friday) at the Ministry of External Affairs Counter, Patiala House Annexe, New

Delhi. The document is to be submitted along with the original document directly with the Companies

outsourced by MEA. A Photocopy of the Passport along-with the original documents is required to be

submitted for legalization. Ministry will not legalize the photo copies.

Fee for Apostille and Normal attestation: A fee of Rs. 50/- is payable by means of Postal Order

drawn in favour of Pay & Accounts Officer (PAO), Ministry of External Affairs, New Delhi, for Apostille on each
