What is Hague Apostille?

An apostille is a certification issued by a Hague apostille member country for authenticating documents in a foreign country. An apostille stamp verifies the sign, seal and signature of a public document and makes it legally valid for use in a foreign country that is a Hague convention member.ย

This has eased the entire legalization process as earlier an embassy attestation was mandatory for legalization.ย

Step-by-Step Process for Apostille Attestation in Dharmapuri

Apostille stamps in India can be obtained from the MEA only. However, the documents need to be verified and attested by other lower authorities before sending it for apostille stamping. There are mainly two methods for authenticating documents submitted for an apostille in Dharmapuri. They are:ย 

  1. Tamil Nadu State Attestation Method, only if the documents were issued in Tamil Nadu
  2. SDM Attestation Method

These methods are differentiated on the basis of the main authority that attests and verifies documents. While the SDM method is a judicial procedure, state attestation is an administrative procedure involving state government authorities.ย 

Apostille Process Using SDM Authentication Method

SDM attestation method can be used for any type of documents except the commercial documents that need an attestation from the chamber of commerce. This is a judicial process where attestation and verification are carried out by the sub divisional magistrate. Once you submit your personal or educational documents to Secure Apostille Service in Dharmapuri, it goes through the below given steps:ย 

  1. Notarization: Firstly after verification from our side, we will submit your documents to a public notary. The notary will check the signature and seal in the document for its originality. Then, attest on the back side of the document with official seal and signature.ย 
  2. SDM Attestation: SDM means sub divisional magistrate. The SDM attestation is the main stage of verification. It may take up to two days to get an attestation from the SDM after verification.ย 
  3. MEA Attestation and Apostille: The final stage happens at the ministry of external affairs in Delhi. The ministry will verify the signature and seal in the document and attestations. If it is submitted without an attestation from SDM or state, the ministry will reject the document immediately. Once, ministry verifies the document and attestation, the officials will attest the document and affix an apostille stamp.

Apostille Using State Attestation Method in Dharmapuri

You can use the state attestation method for educational and personal documents. For personal documents such as PCC attestation is provided by Tamil Nadu home department. However, if it is an educational document, the HRD department will attest it.ย 

Apostille Attestation in Dharmapuri using state attestation method follows the below steps:ย 

  1. Notarization: Similar to SDM method, in this step a public notary will verify and attest your document.ย 
  2. State attestation method: For educational documents such as a degree certificate, the state HRD department will contact the respective university to check the originality of the signature and seal on the certificate. After receiving the confirmation from the university or reactive educational institution only the state HRD officials such as Additional Secretary, General Education Department, Certificate Authentication, Chennai, will attest the document.ย 

If it is a personal document, the home department will authorize the district authority to check the document. The district authorities will verify with the local authority who issued the document. Local authorities such as the registrar will cross verify the records and confirm with the district authority. Finally, the report will be sent back to the state home department. Finally, the joint secretary, additional secretary or under secretary of the home department will attest the document.ย 

ย  ย  ย  ย  3. MEA Attestation: The final stage is the same for any kind of document. In this stage, documents are submitted to the ministry of external affairs in Delhi. The ministry will verify the document and attestations. Finally the ministry pastes an apostille stamp on the back side of the document.ย 

State Attestation Method for Apostille

SDM and State Attestation: Which one to Choose?

As we have mentioned above, the ministry of external affairs is the single authority in India eligible to issue an apostille. As a Hague member, this Indian document with an apostille is accepted in any other Hague country. However, while providing a check list for employees or students, authorities from certain countries specifically mention getting a state attestation. This is most common for those who travel to Italy for higher education. In such cases, you should get state attestation. An SDM attestation is not sufficient.ย 

SDM attestation is a cheaper and faster method to get an apostille in Dharmapuri. Thus, people generally prefer SDM attestation over state attestation. Still not sure which method to choose? Contact your employer, or educational institution(in case of higher education) to learn more about their specific requirements.

Customer Reviews - SAS Apostille

ELWIN SIDHABATTULA

I had an excellent experience with this company in processing my Certificate of Singleness, complete with all the necessary attestations and stamps. They initially told me it would take 25 working days, but they impressively finished everything in just 15 regular days.

I had been scammed twice before by other service providers, so I was understandably very cautious. But the team, especially Sir Lingaraj who assisted me, proved to be trustworthy, professional, and true to their promises. Communication with him was really smooth, clear, and very reassuring. He was also very patient and understanding of my concerns.

In the end, we received a fully legitimate document without any issues. Iโ€™m extremely pleased with their service and would highly recommend them to anyone needing help with document processing. Thank you again for your outstanding work and honesty. I really really appreciate it! God bless
