NRI services for Indians in Europe
Indians in Germany, the Netherlands, France, Ireland, Italy and across Europe use Indian documents for residence permits, Blue Card applications, marriage registration, family reunion and study. Rules differ from one country to the next, so we confirm each case before we act. We work from Chennai and handle the Indian side of your file. Receiving authorities decide what they accept.
Time zone note
Most of Europe is 3.5 to 4.5 hours behind India, depending on the season. Your lunch hour is usually our late afternoon. Ireland and the UK are a little further behind.

Before you start
- Ask your local office whether English translations are fine or whether they need a sworn translator in their language.
- Do not apostille a copy if the authority wants an original. Check first.
- Share the original request letter so we can match the wording.
- Marriage registration offices often want a certificate issued recently. Ask how recent before you order.
