What is Apostille?

A Hague apostille is a certification on your documents issued in India to authenticate its use in any Hague apostille country. Apostille as a legalization method was started to ease the process of authenticating the originality of foreign public documents.Β 

When people from one country migrate to another country for a job or study, they need to submit documents to show their identity, age, and educational qualification. These documents issued by a foreign country need to be validated by the destination country. Earlier, embassy attestation was the only way to authenticate foreign documents. However, with the Hague apostille convention, the process became easier and cheaper. At present Hague countries only need an apostille from the competent authority of document issued country to legalize any document.Β 

India has been a member of Hague convention since 2005. Thus, any Indian documents submitted to a foreign country needs to get an apostille stamp from the ministry of external affairs to legalize it abroad.Β

Step-by-Step Apostille Process in Karimnagar

The Apostille stamp in India is issued by the ministry of external affairs located in Delhi. Although MEA is the sole authority with the apostille issuing power, document verification and attestations at lower administrative and judicial level is a prerequisite before apostille. Without the proper verification and attestation MEA will not accept documents for apostille. There are two methods of authentication that MEA accepts as valid routes for a certificate apostille. They are:Β 

  1. State Attestation Method
  2. SDM Attestation Method

Both methods are equally valid for a Hague country. However, some countries may need a state attestation. For instance, for Saudi Arabia getting a state attestation for your certificates before an apostille is mandatory to apply for a work visa.Β 

The process of state attestation alone takes a month in most of the states. Therefore, unless your destination country demands for a state attestation, it is better to follow the SDM attestation method for an apostille.Β
