Apostille obtained with both verification methods are equally valid in a Hague country. However, some countries may mandate getting an attestation from the state government department, especially for admission to higher education institutions abroad. Unless specified by the foreign authority, people generally prefer SDM attestation because of the fast and cheaper availability.
Following are the steps involved in obtaining an apostille for personal documents:
- Notarization:
This is the first step of obtaining an apostille using any authentication method. In this step, a public notary will verify and attest your documents.

This is the major difference in the verification process. As mentioned above, unless authorities from your destination country specify, the SDM method is a better choice.
SDM Attestation: In this step, your apostille service provider in Andaman& Nicobar will submit your document with a notary to the sub divisional magistrate. The SDM verifies the document and attests it with signature and seal.
