Documents to India

Important papers deserve a safe trip

Some papers are hard or slow to replace. A signed power of attorney for a property sale in India. A degree certificate. A passport going back to a family member. When papers like these have to reach India, you want to know where they are and who signed for them.

We send documents from anywhere in the US to any PIN code in India with FedEx, DHL or UPS, collected from your door. See our document shipping service for how it works on every route.

What people send

Documents people send to India.

If it is paper and it matters, it usually belongs in an express envelope.

Passports

Sending a passport to a family member in India. Always by a tracked service with a signature on delivery.

OCI and visa papers

Forms, copies and supporting papers. If they belong to an application, follow the instructions from the office handling it.

Legal and property papers

Power of attorney, sale deeds, affidavits and signed agreements for a lawyer or relative in India.

Certificates

Birth, marriage and degree certificates, transcripts and other originals.

Bank and pension papers

Signed forms, life certificates and letters for banks and offices in India.

Business papers

Contracts, tenders and signed documents for a company or partner in India.

What counts as a document

Customs and carriers treat documents differently from goods, so it helps to know the line.

Indian customs rules for courier shipments describe documents as information on paper, cards or photographs that has no commercial value. Letters, legal papers, certificates, forms and passports fit that description.

Anything with a value of its own is treated as goods, not documents. That includes books, printed items for sale, gift cards and anything else tucked into the envelope. Goods need their own customs declaration and may be charged duty.

If you want to send papers and a small gift together, tell us. We will set it up as a parcel so it is declared properly. Our parcel shipping page explains how that works.

Courier or regular mail?

Both reach India. The difference is speed, tracking and proof of delivery.

Express courier (FedEx, DHL or UPS) is the fastest option. You get detailed tracking the whole way and a signature when it is delivered. It is the one we suggest for anything hard to replace, like a passport or an original certificate.

Postal mail can cost less. Tracking is usually less detailed once the envelope reaches India, and it takes longer. It can suit copies and everyday letters that aren’t urgent.

Not sure which you need? Tell us what the papers are and when they are needed.

Packing your papers

A few minutes of care keeps papers flat, dry and in one piece.

Keep papers flat. Don't fold certificates or anything with a seal.
Slip them into a clear plastic sleeve to keep out damp.
Add a piece of stiff card behind certificates so they don't bend.
Take photos or copies of everything before it leaves your hands.
Put only papers in a document envelope. No cash, jewelry or gifts.
Write down the tracking number and share it with the person in India.

Tracking and delivery

You can follow the envelope from your door to theirs.

With express courier you get a tracking number as soon as it is booked. You can see when it is collected, when it leaves the US, when it clears customs in India and when it is signed for.

Give us the receiver’s full address with the six-digit PIN code and a phone number that works in India. Carriers often call before delivery, and a wrong or missing number is one of the most common reasons for delays.

How fast documents reach India

Speed depends on the service you pick and where in India it is going.

Express courier is the quickest way to get papers to India. Big cities are usually the fastest to reach. Smaller towns and remote PIN codes can take a little longer.

We don’t publish delivery times that might not match your address. When you ask for a quote, we give you the expected timing for your PIN code along with the price, so you can plan around a deadline.

Papers with no commercial value, like letters, certificates and legal papers, are treated as documents rather than goods. Anything with a value of its own, like books or gifts in the same envelope, is treated as goods and may be charged duty. Keep a document envelope to papers only.

For anything hard to replace, express courier is the safer choice. You get detailed tracking and a signature on delivery. Postal mail can cost less and suits copies and everyday letters that aren't urgent.

No. A document envelope should hold papers only. Carriers don't accept cash, and a gift makes it a parcel that has to be declared as goods. If you want to send papers and a gift together, tell us and we will set it up as a parcel.

“I used TYS Global Logistics for moving my entire 2-bedroom house. I spent over a month comparing different moving companies because I wanted a good rate without compromising on the service. TYS offered me the cheapest rates, along with flexible timing as per my availability. Their team handled my belongings carefully, and I received proper tracking updates throughout the shipment. The delivery was delayed by one day, but they informed me about it in advance and explained the reason properly. Overall, it was a good experience. I would definitely consider using their service again.”
