Why is Apostille Needed for Spain?
Apostille Stamp Services for Spain
If you need to use your Indian documents in Spain, you will likely need an Apostille stamp. Spain, as a member of the Hague Convention (since 15th July 1955), accepts Indian public documents with the Apostille stamp, making the process easier for those looking to work, study, or do business in Spain.
Why is Apostille Needed for Spain?
Since Spain is part of the Hague Convention, it eliminates the need for consular legalisation through the Spanish Embassy. Instead, all documents from India need only to be stamped with an Apostille by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) in India.
This means the Apostille serves as the official verification for documents intended for use in Spain.
The Apostille guarantees that your documents—whether personal, educational, or commercial—are legally valid and accepted by Spanish authorities. These documents might include:
- Commercial Documents: For starting a business or engaging in exports, such as a certificate of incorporation, registration, or Power of Attorney.
- Educational Certificates: For those wishing to pursue higher education or apply for a work visa in Spain. These might include degree certificates, diplomas, and mark sheets.
- Personal Documents: Birth certificates, marriage certificates, police clearance certificates (PCC), and others may require Apostille for family-related purposes, residency, or visa processing.
