Hugh Phelan, Solicitor & Notary Public — appointed by the Chief Justice of Ireland — provides expert notarisation, apostille, and legalisation for all documents destined for India. Douglas, Cork.
If you are moving to India, working there, buying property, or dealing with India authorities from Ireland, you will almost certainly need your Irish documents officially notarised. Hugh Phelan — Solicitor and Notary Public appointed by the Chief Justice of Ireland — provides the internationally recognised certification that India authorities require.
India joined the Hague Apostille Convention in 2005, meaning Irish documents notarised by Hugh Phelan and apostilled by the Irish DFA are fully accepted by Indian authorities without further Embassy legalisation. The Indian community in Cork is large and dynamic, with consistent demand for powers of attorney for Indian property, OCI card applications, and notarised academic credentials.
India IS a Hague Convention member — Irish apostilles accepted directly.
Indian sub-registrar offices, High Courts, and the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) all accept apostilled Irish documents. Powers of attorney for Indian property sale and purchase are one of the most common documents Hugh Phelan prepares for the Indian community.
Hugh Phelan has been practising as a Solicitor in Cork since 2003 and holds a full notarial appointment from the Chief Justice of Ireland. He has notarised thousands of documents for worldwide use, including India. His dual qualification in Irish and English law, combined with deep knowledge of international legalisation, makes him uniquely suited to handle your documents correctly the first time.
The key authority for foreign documents in India is: Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) India. Hugh Phelan's office provides guidance on submitting documents to the correct India authorities and any translation requirements.
