Overview

What is Bahrain Apostille?

Bahrain is a member of the Hague Convention of 1961, which is why it accepts only apostilled documents for use in Bahrain.


An apostille is a sticker generated by computer, issued by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), India, which has an identifiable number and can be verified online. An apostille certifies that your Indian documents are authentic and legally valid in Bahrain. Apostilles are generally valid for six months.

With our knowledgeable staff at VHRS, you can count on having your documents apostilled correctly and in a timely wayand you can proceed with your plans in Bahrain without additional step.
Why Bahrain Apostille Mandatory in 2025

Starting in 2025, the Bahrain authorities will not accept any Indian documents for university admissions, job permits, dependent visasor business registrations unless they are apostilled by the MEA.
Apostille is an internationally recognized form of authentication that typically takes a few days. Unlike embassy attestation, which can take several weeks, apostille saves time and ensures that the document is accepted internationally.

Advantages to Using Bahrain Apostille with VHRS:

  • Quick approvals for visas and student admissions.
  • Documentation processing for corporate and trade documents with no hassles.
  • Less likelihood of rejection or delays.
  • Total compliance with international standards for legalization.
