Mission details
Attestation route for Kazakhstan
As a Hague Convention country, Kazakhstan 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.
Kazakhstan works in Kazakh or Russian, so documents in English often need a certified translation into Kazakh or Russian as well. Where one is required it is normally legalised alongside the original rather than afterwards, and we confirm whether yours needs one before the file is submitted.
One practical point: the mission normally closes on Kazakhstan’s national day (December 16) as well as on Indian public holidays. If your deadline is tight, that is worth allowing for.
Process
Step by step for Kazakhstan
