Tajikistan is an Apostille Convention country, so a power of attorney signed before a Tajik state notary and apostilled is generally accepted in India. Indian citizens can also sign before the consular officer at the Embassy of India in Dushanbe. Stamp duty must be paid in India within three months of its arrival.

Power of Attorney from Tajikistan: how it works
We draft a specific power in English and provide a text for the notary's Tajik or Russian translation, checking that the versions match.
In India, we arrange stamping and authentication, and guide the attorney holder through the work.
Students in Khujand may find a local notary and apostille quicker than travelling to Dushanbe.
If you study in Khujand, a local state notary and apostille through the ministry are usually more practical than travelling to Dushanbe.
We provide the English text so the notary's translation is accurate.

- Check both language versions match.
