A Complete Guide to Document Apostille Services
Document apostille is a crucial legalization process for verifying the authenticity of public documents to be used in foreign countries that are members of the Hague Convention of 1961. The apostille stamp certifies that a document is genuine and eliminates the need for further attestation. This streamlined process is essential for individuals and businesses to comply with international legal requirements.
Legal Light Consulting specializes in providing expert apostille services for various countries, ensuring a hassle-free and efficient process for clients.
What is Document Apostille?
The apostille is an international certificate that validates the authenticity of a document for use in Hague Convention member countries. It is affixed by the competent authority in the issuing country, such as the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) in India or similar agencies in other nations.
Types of Documents Eligible for Apostille
- Personal Documents: Birth certificates, marriage certificates, death certificates, police clearance certificates.
- Educational Documents: Degrees, diplomas, and academic transcripts.
- Commercial Documents: Power of attorney, invoices, articles of incorporation, and other business-related documents.
