I need to notarize and apostille my canceled old Indian passports and current USA passport and all their pages to prove I did not step into India during 1995-2025 (to prove I was not aware of a suit initiated against my property in 2018 without my knowledge). Should I notarize/apostille just the last page of each passport or each and every page of each passport or use a separate letter for each passport covering/listing all its pages? Which format is accepted in Indian courts for civil matters?
Also, notary at a local library and apostille at Secretary of State - are these enough or do I still need attestation by Indian Consulate? Since apostille is the final step after which no changes can be made to a doc (as I understand), do I notarize → attest → apostille or just skip attestation altogether? Do courts in Vikarabad, TG require consulate attestation too out of bureaucracy? I heard notarization+apostille is good enough for any Indian court and the Indian consulate site does not list any service for attestation of passports:
