Port Blair
Port and logistics traffic through Port Blair means shipping documents, crew certificates, seafarer records and customs paperwork that must be translated and legalised quickly to avoid demurrage.
Documents issued in Andaman and Nicobar Islands are authenticated by the Administration Secretariat before they can go to the Ministry of External Affairs. Educational records are handled separately by the state education or HRD department, which usually verifies the certificate with the issuing university or board before signing it, and commercial documents are attested by a chamber of commerce.
Our staff attend these offices in Port Blair and elsewhere in the state, so an original posted to us does not need to travel back to you between steps. Where a record has to be obtained first, from a municipal corporation, university, board or police office in Andaman and Nicobar Islands, we apply for it with a signed authorisation from you and move straight into translation and legalisation once it is released.

Questions we are asked most
How long does attestation take for a document issued in Port Blair?
It depends on the route. A translation alone is usually two to four working days. Notarisation and state attestation through the Administration Secretariat typically adds five to twelve working days, and an MEA apostille another three to seven. Embassy legalisation varies by mission. We give you the current estimate with your quote rather than a generic figure.
Which department attests documents from Port Blair?
Documents issued in Andaman and Nicobar Islands are authenticated by the Administration Secretariat for non-educational records, and by the state education or HRD department for degrees and mark sheets. Commercial documents go through a chamber of commerce. The MEA in New Delhi only stamps a document after the correct state desk has signed it.
Can you collect a document from an office in Port Blair on my behalf?
Yes. We prepare the authorisation letter and any affidavit you need to sign, retrieve the record from the municipal corporation, university, board or police office, and move straight into translation and legalisation without sending the original back to you first.
