Armenia is an Apostille Convention country, so a power of attorney signed before an Armenian notary and apostilled by the Ministry of Justice is generally accepted in India. Indian citizens can also sign before the consular officer at the Embassy of India in Yerevan, which is often quicker. The power must be stamped in India within three months.

Power of Attorney from Armenia: how it works
We draft a specific power for the task, such as an education loan, a bank account, a property sale or a court case. For Armenian notaries, we provide a clean English text for translation into Armenian.
In India, we arrange stamping and authentication or registration, and guide the attorney holder.
For students, a limited power for a parent to deal with banks and the university avoids repeated document requests during the course.
Students and workers often need an Indian bank to accept the power for an education loan or account; we check the bank's own format requirements before drafting, as some banks insist on their template.
What clients in Armenia should know
- The Embassy route avoids translation and apostille.
