OCI Apostille in London — £79, 15 Minutes' Walk from VFS Goswell Road
Applying for an OCI card from the UK? UK birth and marriage certificates on your OCI checklist need a physical FCDO apostille — VFS does not accept an e-apostille for these. We get the paper apostille for you at a fixed price, from our City of London office a short walk from the VFS Indian Visa and Consular Application Centre.

FAQs
Where do I find the official OCI document requirements?
On the VFS Global OCI page, the VFS checklist and the High Commission of India, London. We don't advise on OCI eligibility — we apostille the UK documents those checklists ask for.
Does my OCI birth or marriage certificate need a paper apostille?
The VFS UK checklist says a physical, paper-based apostille is required and an e-apostille is not accepted. That's what we obtain.
How much does an OCI apostille cost?
£79 per document (72 hours) or £135 next day. If you need a new certified certificate from the GRO, the certificate plus apostille is £145.
How close are you to VFS Goswell Road?
About 15 minutes' walk: Guildhall Yard (EC2V) to 142–148 Goswell Road (EC1V). Walk-ins Monday to Friday, 09:00–17:00.
Do you submit my OCI application?
No. You apply online and attend VFS. We make sure your UK documents are correctly apostilled.
