Gangtok
Hospitality employers in Gangtok place staff with international hotel groups and cruise lines, so we regularly certify training certificates, experience letters and medical fitness records.
Documents issued in Sikkim are authenticated by the Home Department 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 Gangtok 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 Sikkim, 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 Gangtok?
It depends on the route. A translation alone is usually two to four working days. Notarisation and state attestation through the Home Department 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 Gangtok?
Documents issued in Sikkim are authenticated by the Home Department 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 Gangtok 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.
