Many of the foreign countries, it is required to have Apostille attestation from Ministry of External Affairs. They will do the attestation only after attestation from states. In Kerala NORKA ROOTS giving this service. It is very efficient and fast. Proceedure: 1. Show your passport and get the application form. Your blood relatives also can apply for you with proper relationship ID card, like ration card, voter id etc. 2. Fill your application and paste a photo. 3. Submit your application with Xerox copies of a) passport, certificates (including marklists of all semesters). Please make sure that the lamination on the backside has to be removed. 4. Done.
