Attestation and apostille

Indian documents for use in Mexico (degree, birth or marriage certificate) need an apostille from the Ministry of External Affairs in India. Our immigration team can arrange it without you travelling.
Mexican documents (for example a Mexican birth certificate for an OCI) are apostilled by the government of the Mexican state that issued them.

Getting to the embassy from Querétaro

Bus: first-class buses leave the Querétaro bus station for Mexico City about every 30 minutes and take around 3 hours. Take an Uber from the terminal to Polanco.
Car: about 220 km on the Mexico–Querétaro highway (57D). Allow extra time for traffic entering the city.
Submission ends at 12:30. Take an early bus or go the day before. Collection is between 16:00 and 17:00.

Register with the embassy
