Apostille Attestation is the process of legalizing documents for use in countries that are part of the Hague Convention of October 5, 1961. After India joined the convention, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) started issuing Apostilles from August 29, 2007.
An Apostille is a square-shaped sticker issued by the MEA, certifying the authenticity of the originating authority’s seal and signature.
