All NRIs
Describe the job; matching businesses reply privately, and never learn who asked
Describe the job, without your name or contact details. Once we have checked it, the businesses listed for that kind of help where you live can each send you one short reply, which only you see. They never learn who asked.

You haven't posted a request yet.
We check every request before businesses see it. Nothing is shown to anyone until then.
Each business is in the directory and paid the same flat fee to be listed; replies are in the order they arrived. To take one further, use the contact details on its listing. NRIWallah is not part of any agreement you make.

Sometimes the NRI service directory doesn’t make it obvious who can do a job: a degree certificate that needs an apostille from a state you no longer live in, a flat in Pune that needs checking before a tenant moves in, a parent who needs someone to go with them to a bank. The request board lets you describe the job once and hear back from the businesses that do that kind of work for NRIs where you live.
You sign in, choose what you need help with and where you live, and describe the job in your own words: the document or property, where in India, any language you would like to use, and any deadline. We check every request before anyone sees it. Once it is posted, it is shown for 30 days to the businesses listed in the directory for that kind of help in your country, and to those that serve NRIs in every country. Each of them can send you one short reply, which only you can read, here on this page.
The businesses see the request itself, never your name, your email address or anything else about your account. That is why the form refuses phone numbers, email addresses and links, and why you should leave out names, including other people’s. A reply can’t carry contact details either: each one links to the business’s listing, where you will find its website, its registration and any member reviews. You decide whether to get in touch; nobody contacts you otherwise, and we send no emails about requests.
You can close a request at any time, so businesses stop seeing it, or delete it with every reply. Requests and their replies are deleted 30 days after they close, and at once if you delete your account.
Every business here pays the same flat yearly fee to be listed, and replies are shown in the order they arrive. A reply is not a recommendation, and NRIWallah is not part of any agreement you make. Ask for fees in writing before you agree to anything. Regulated products, such as mortgages, insurance, investments or money transfer, aren’t listed in the directory, so we don’t post requests for them. Our guides explain the rules behind most of these jobs, such as attestation and apostille and looking after parents in India.
If a reply looks wrong or asks you for something it shouldn’t, use “Report this reply”. The business is not told who reported it, and we look into every report.
