What is Apostille?
An Apostille is derived from French meaning Certification. It’s Pronounced as “Ah-poh-steel”.
An Apostille is simply a certification of Document issued by a legal or registered authority in a country. If a document is Apostilled it shows that the document is verified and it is legal to use in the country to which it is Apostilled. For each country there is a different Apostille. List of countries where the Apostille is Accepted as the highest order of legalization are known as The Hague Nation Convention.
Benefits a country gets when it becomes the member in the Hague Convention:
The documents which are apostilled to a country such as Germany can be used in the other country such as Poland, because both nations will fall under the Hague nation list.
No need to get Attestation from the Embassy of the destination country on the document which is Apostilled. Because, Apostille is accepted as the highest level of legalization in a country which is in the Hague Convention.
However, if the Apostilled document is older than six months then we should get the documents newly Apostilled once again.
There are three main verification that needs to be done to get Apostille stamp on documents.
- Notary from authorized Personnel
- State Authorisation from concerned state department or secretariat or SDM Attestation depending on the procedure
- MEA Apostille
There is one more step involved finally, if the country you want to get Apostille is not a Hague nation then,
- Legalization from Embassy of the Country ( only if country is not in Hague Convention)
