Verify Your Indian Apostille Online
An Apostille is an official form of authentication used to help Indian public documents be accepted for use in countries that recognize the Hague Apostille Convention. For eligible documents, verification through the official Government of India e-Sanad system can help users check whether the Apostille or Attestation information is available in the official government verification system.
What Is an Apostille?
An Apostille is a form of document authentication used for international use. It confirms the authenticity of the signature, seal or stamp appearing on a public document so that the document can be presented in another country that recognizes the Apostille system.
Indian documents may require Apostille authentication when they are being submitted abroad for purposes such as immigration, higher education, employment, marriage registration, business requirements or other official procedures. The exact requirements depend on the destination country and the authority requesting the document.
The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), Government of India, provides Apostille and attestation services for eligible Indian documents. The e-Sanad system is also used for electronic verification and attestation of documents covered under its framework.
What Is a Digital or QR-Code Apostille?
Some electronically issued or digitally downloadable documents may contain a QR code or another online verification mechanism. Where the document's QR code is connected to an official verification system, the code can be scanned to access verification information and help confirm the authenticity of the electronic document.
A QR code by itself should not be treated as proof that a document is genuine. Users should always check where the QR code leads and whether the verification information comes from the relevant official authority or verification system.
Our e-Sanad verification facility is designed to make this process more convenient by allowing users to submit their Apostille or Attestation number and view the verification response obtained from the official e-Sanad system.
Benefits of Digitally Verifiable Apostille Documents
Easy Verification
Where an official digital verification facility is available, document information can be checked online without relying only on visual inspection of a paper document.

Digital documents can be accessed and shared electronically, making them convenient when documents need to be submitted to authorities abroad.
Convenient for Overseas Use
Digitally available documents can be easier to send to universities, employers, immigration professionals and other authorities when electronic submission is accepted.

Digital Apostille vs Traditional Paper Apostille
Digital and traditional Apostille documents can both be useful. The appropriate format depends on the document, issuing authority and requirements of the country or organization receiving it.
