Power of Attorney - Apostille (yes or no?)

[pingo009]

Hello,

I want to get Power of Attorney (PoA) attested by Consulate General of India - San Francisco.

I am unable to find if the PoA document has to be Apostilled. In the following link - https://www.cgisf.gov.in/page/power-...ncial-matters/, the following is stated:

[There is no need for the POA to be apostilled for Indian Passport holders and OCI/PIO card holders. However, the POA documents must be duly notarized]

However, in a different link (in the same website), https://www.cgisf.gov.in/page/miscel...tion-services/, the following is mentioned:

All Affidavits, Powers of Attorney, etc. will be neatly typed and drawn on plain paper

• The attestation service is provided to Indian citizens. Documents submitted by other nationals will be attested only if the document is required to be submitted for a transaction in India or it originates from India.
• All documents should be apostilled / attested by the Authentication Division in the State Department before submission of attestation at the consulate.

I hold Indian Passport. For PoA related to property, do I need to get my document Apostilled?

Thanks.
