Certificate attestation is the process in which the issuing government agencies confirm your important documents including personal, educational, and business papers so that you can lawfully use them in another country. Authorities gather your required documents, verify the information provided, and then sign and seal them. The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) is the highest organisation that the Indian government has selected to handle the attestation and apostille process.
Are you wondering how you should get done with this process? The simple answer to this complex question is to hire professionals. Be careful about the firm you are choosing as you have to trust them with your original documents. In the wrong hands, the documents can cost you a fortune. Let’s get started with the tips to find the perfect and reliable firm to do the work.
The success rate of the company can speak the volume. If they are able to show you proof that they are experienced in doing the work and have a great success rate then you can consider them. Don’t finalise any company in one go as there are multiple other factors to consider before finalising a company.
The company should have genuine tracking capabilities for your paperwork and be able to offer you updates on the status of your attestation over the phone or online. Once you complete the papers, the company must provide you with a tracking number for your shipment.
Never skip out on the testimonials. If the company claims to provide top-notch quality services and the testimonials are positive as well then you can go with the company. But if you come across negative reviews then don’t waste another minute on the website and switch to another company.
Another thing to consider is the price of the services of the company. Any reliable company will charge a genuine price for offering services. You should not fall into the trap of extremes as going with a company that offers services at an extremely low price or with a firm that charges an extremely high price.

An Apostille is a French word that means Certification and it’s Pronounce as “ah-po-style”. An Apostille is simply the name for a specialized certificate, issued by the Ministry of External Affairs, New Delhi. The Apostille sticker is pasted on the backside of original document to verify it is legitimate and authentic, so it will be accepted in one of the other countries who are members of The Hague Apostille Convention.
The Apostille Convention is an international treaty that simplifies the legalization procedure for foreign public documents. It allows a Government body to certify a document issued in its own country as valid for other countries without further certification by the destination state. The Convention has 126 contracting states as of November 2023, including the United States and Canada.
The Apostille Convention provides the simplified certification of public (including notarized) documents to be used in countries that have joined the convention. Documents destined for use in participating countries and their territories should be certified by one of the officials in the jurisdiction in which the document has been executed.
The Hague Convention requires that all Apostille be numbered consecutively, with individual numbers applied to each Apostille issued. The recognized standard Apostille contains a seal and 10 mandatory references: name of country from which the document emanates, name of person signing the document, the capacity in which the person signing the document has acted, in the case of unsigned documents, the name of the authority that has affixed the seal or stamp, place of certification date of certification, the authority issuing the certificate, number of certificate, seal or stamp of authority issuing certificate and signature of authority issuing certificate. Prior to the introduction of Apostille certificates the burden on international courts and authorities to judge foreign documents as authentic was quite considerable. On the October 5, 1961 the Hague Convention abolished the requirement of legalization for foreign public documents. The Convention reduces all of the formalities of legalization to the simple delivery of a certificate in a prescribed form, entitled “Apostille”, by the authorities of the Ministry where the document originates. This certificate, placed on the document, is dated, numbered and registered. The verification of its registration can be carried out without difficulty by means of a simple request for information addressed to the authority which delivered the certificate.
