When you need it

Your degree, marriage certificate, police certificate or other paper needs an apostille or attestation before it goes into a visa or immigration file abroad, and you cannot go to the counter yourself. This letter authorises a named person or agency to hand in your papers, pay what is required, and collect them again, and says exactly which papers and for how long.

Not for: a general power of attorney (use a power of attorney if the person needs wider powers), a request to your university for transcripts or verification (use the Transcript and Degree Verification Authorisation), or an authority letter to collect a passport or cheque book (use the Authority Letter (Passport, Degree, Cheque Book)).

What follows is written for Punjab and Chandigarh. It states the position there rather than describing how it varies, so the amounts below are the ones that apply — worth confirming at the sub-registrar’s office, because rates change. If the property is anywhere else in India, none of this is yours.

Stamp duty

Not a stamp-dutiable instrument — a letter, not an agreement or a conveyance.

Registration

Not registrable.

Notarisation

Not legally required for the letter itself. Some agencies and counters ask for the Owner's signature to be attested, or for a copy of the Owner's photo identity attached; confirm before sending the originals.

Witnesses

Not required.
