Consulate General of India Guide

Consular document matters often require preparation before you attend an appointment or submit papers. Applicants may need passport copies, proof of address, photographs, affidavits, notarised documents, certificates or evidence connected to property, family, banking, education or identity matters. Knowing what the document is for is the first step.

This guide explains how to approach consular preparation from Australia. Identify the service category, collect identity records, check that names and dates match, and confirm whether any document should be notarised, certified, apostilled or attested before the next stage. If an official instruction conflicts with general guidance, the official instruction should be followed.

VFS India helps clients organise these details and ask better questions before moving forward. We provide private preparation support and do not represent any consulate or government office.
