Dominican Republic and India are members of The Hague Convention of October 5, 1961, by means of which countries mutually recognize the authenticity of the signature, seal or stamp appearing on the apostille of both countries.
Documents issued and certified with an Apostille in India to be used in the Dominican Republic do not require legalization by the Dominican Republic Embassy in India. An apostilled document will be considered as a legalized document for all purposes by all concerned in Dominican Republic.
Apostille is done for personal documents such as birth/death/marriage certificates, affidavits, power of attorney and educational documents like degree, diploma, matriculation and secondary level certificates.
