If you plan to use Indian documents in Iceland, you must complete legal authentication beforehand. Since Iceland is a member of the Hague Apostille Convention, Indian documents require a Hague Apostille to gain legal acceptance. Therefore, embassy or consular attestation is not required.

A Hague Apostille, issued by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), Government of India, verifies the authenticity of signatures, seals, and stamps on public documents. As a result, once MEA apostilles your document, Icelandic authorities can accept it directly without any additional legalization.

Moreover, Iceland strictly applies Hague Convention rules. Apostilled Indian documents are accepted by Icelandic immigration authorities, municipalities, universities, employers, courts, banks, and notaries. Consequently, applicants avoid repeated verification and save time.

Indian citizens commonly require apostille for Iceland for employment, residence permits, higher education, marriage registration, family reunification, and legal procedures. Similarly, businesses need apostille for company registration, contracts, power of attorney, and commercial agreements in Iceland.

Documents that usually require apostille for Iceland include educational certificates (degrees, diplomas, mark sheets), personal documents (birth certificate, marriage certificate, police clearance certificate, affidavits), and commercial documents (MOA/AOA, board resolutions, contracts, POA).

However, one Iceland-specific point is important:
👉 Icelandic (or English) translation is often required after apostille. In many cases, authorities ask for a certified or sworn translation, depending on the purpose.
