Why France Apostille Mandatory in 2025

All documents from India destined for France—admissions and university registration, work permit or employment permit, family/dependent visa applicationor business/corporation registration—must be MEA-apostilled by India's Ministry of External Affairs. In other words, if your documents are not apostilled, they may not be processed in a timely manner, rejectedor delayed for further verification. If the MEA Apostille process has been properly and timely completed, no issues should arise with your documents when they reach France.
