Driving Licence Apostille

The process of getting an apostille sticker on a driving license is called a driving license

apostille. This is required to legitimise the document, authenticate the identity, or give the

document as proof for a visa or permanent residency application. This can also be given as

proof of address in certain circumstances. It is a process to prove that your certificates are

genuine and your intentions are good.

Earlier, the Ministry of External Affairs centralised and controlled the process, and now

everything has been decentralised to the secretariat and RPOs. For initialising the process, the

document has to be attested by a notary. The official notary will attest to the document with

signature and stamp. Then the document will be passed on to the Home Department, where

the assigned officer would legalise it. Only the assigned officer is authorised to legalise the

document. The document also has to be legalised by the Sub Divisional Magistrate. In some

cases, even the legalisation by Human Resource Department is also necessary. After all the

legalisations are made to the document, it receives the apostille sticker.

The offline route would be cumbersome compared to hiring an online service provider. The

agency will facilitate the document through different departments with ease. The cost of the

process is variable as the legalisation requirements for different purposes are different. The

offline channel usually takes two-three weeks. An exact date cannot be determined as various

factors affect this.
