Certified translation
Signed, stamped translations accepted by consulates, universities and government offices.
Everything we do in Varanasi starts the same way: you send a scan, we tell you which steps the document actually needs, and you approve a fixed price before anything moves. Originals travel by insured courier, and we photograph each stamp as it is applied so you have proof to send on while the document is still in transit.
Varanasi has a large student population, and most enquiries here concern degree certificates, consolidated mark sheets, medium-of-instruction letters and transcripts sent directly to foreign universities.
Documents issued in Varanasi are authenticated at state level by the Home Department before the Ministry of External Affairs will apostille them, with degrees and mark sheets going through the state education or HRD department instead. For countries outside the Hague Convention, the file then goes to that country's embassy or consulate.

Questions we are asked most
Do I have to come to your office in Varanasi?
No. Almost every file is handled remotely. You send a scan through the quote form, we confirm the price, and the physical document travels by courier only when an original is required for attestation. Where the document has to be collected in person from a Varanasi office, we go with a signed authorisation from you.
How long does attestation take for a document issued in Varanasi?
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 Varanasi?
Documents issued in Uttar Pradesh 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 Varanasi 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.
What does it cost?
Prices depend on the document type, language pair, number of pages and the authority that will receive it, so we do not publish a rate card that would be wrong for most files. Send a scan and you will have a fixed, itemised quote, usually within one working day.
