Mission details
Attestation route for Dominica
As a Hague Convention country, Dominica accepts a single apostille from the Ministry of External Affairs. There is no embassy stage, which makes it both cheaper and faster.
Typical timeline: 3–15 working days, depending on document type. We confirm an exact estimate for your specific document and issuing state before you commit.
Dominica is represented in New Delhi by an honorary consulate. Honorary consulates are usually part-time and often cannot legalise documents themselves, so we confirm which mission handles Dominica paperwork before you send anything.
