What is Apostille Certificate?
An Apostille Certificate is a universally accepted authentication of the legitimacy of documents, recognized by member nations of the 1961 Hague Convention. The term “Apostille” is derived from the French word for certification. In the case of Indian documents needing validation in countries that are part of the Hague Convention, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), India, is responsible for overseeing the legalization process through its authorized Apostille Services.
This process entails affixing a distinct Apostille stamp, essentially a specialized certificate issued by the MEA, confirming the genuineness and authenticity of the original document. It’s essential to note that more than 116 European nations and the United States acknowledge and accept Apostilles.
The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) holds exclusive authority to issue Apostille Stamps for documents originating in India. Apostille documents hold validity exclusively in countries that are signatories to The Hague Convention of 1961. This convention significantly simplified the procedure for validating foreign public documents, eliminating the need for multiple legalizations by the governments of member countries within the HCCH (Hague Conference on Private International Law).
Among the most requested services is Degree Apostille Attestation, which is essential for individuals pursuing higher education, employment, or residency in Hague Convention countries. Vedic Global Services provides end-to-end support for all Apostille Services, ensuring a smooth, efficient, and compliant process.
Why is Certificate Apostille required ?
A Certificate Apostille is necessary due to the requirements of the Hague Convention. This international policy mandates that a certificate be affixed with an Apostille stamp in order to be used in countries that are members of the Hague Conference on Private International Law (HCCH). This procedure serves as a crucial security measure, ensuring the authenticity of certificates for purposes such as employment, education, exporting goods, or establishing a business in HCCH member countries.
The Apostille stamp effectively bestows legitimacy upon the document, making it valid, genuine, and officially recognized by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) of HCCH member countries. Notably, having an Apostille on your certificate eliminates the need for any further attestation from the respective country’s embassy, streamlining the process for international document use.
When is Certificate Apostille required?
Traveling abroad for short-term visits or long-term purposes such as work, education, residency, or immigration often necessitates obtaining an apostille. In simpler terms, apostille is the process of legalizing documents, allowing you to prove the authenticity and validity of your required paperwork in your chosen destination country. These apostille documents are essential for acceptance in countries that are members of the Hague Convention. At Vedic Global Services, we guide individuals and organizations through every step of attestation and apostille, ensuring their documents are recognized and validated internationally without delays.
Following are the points where can require a Certificate Apostille.
- To establish a business overseas, it is essential to have commercial Apostille Documents such as the Certificate of Incorporation, Registration, Board of Resolution, and Power of Attorney authenticated through proper Attestation and Apostille procedures. This ensures their legitimacy in the destination country.
- Export Documents: When engaging in export activities, Apostille authentication is required for crucial paperwork like Invoices, Certificates of Origin, and Packing Lists. This legalization process validates the documents for customs clearance and acceptance when shipping goods internationally.
- Educational Certificates: Individuals pursuing higher education or employment abroad must obtain Apostille stamps on their academic documents such as Degrees, Diplomas, and School Marksheets. At Vedic Global Services, we specialize in Degree Apostille Attestation, ensuring that your credentials are properly validated for visa and university processes.
- Personal Documents: For those applying for a Family Visa or planning to join relatives overseas, Apostille Documents like Marriage Certificates and Birth Certificates must be legally verified. These Attestation and Apostille services confirm the authenticity of personal records.
- Criminal Background Check: When proving a clean legal background for work or residency, a Police Clearance Certificate (PCC) with an Apostille stamp is a mandatory requirement in many countries.
- Medical Certification: To demonstrate fitness for travel, employment, or immigration, a Medical Certificate needs to be Apostilled, confirming that the individual meets the health standards set by the receiving nation.
- Single Status Certificate: For those intending to marry abroad, a Single Status Certificate—also known as a Bachelorhood or Marriage Ability Certificate—must go through Attestation and Apostille to be recognized legally by foreign authorities.

How to Get an Apostille Stamp in India?
For Certificate Apostille Services in India, the Ministry of External Affairs no longer accepts documents directly from individual applicants. Instead, the process of Apostille or Attestation by the MEA requires applicants to submit and collect their certificates through four designated outsourced agencies. Effective from January 1, 2019, the Apostille Attestation services have been decentralized to Branch Secretariats/RPOs located in 15 major cities across India.
Apostille services are now available in the following cities: Mumbai, New Delhi, Pune, Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Bhopal, Chennai, Kolkata, Chandigarh, Goa, Cochin, Guwahati, Lucknow, Raipur, Surat, Vadodara, Rajkot, Indore, Patna, and Thiruvananthapuram.
The Indian Apostille is a square-shaped sticker stamp that contains 11 standard fields. At the top of the sticker is the word “APOSTILLE,” and just below it, you’ll find the text “Convention de La Haye du 5 October 1961” (in English: Hague Convention of 5 October 1961). The fields on the Apostille certificate contain vital information, and this certificate is affixed to the back of the document for authentication purposes.

The Hague Convention, officially known as the Hague Convention Abolishing the Requirement of Legalization for Foreign Public Documents, was formally signed on October 5, 1961, in the town of Luxembourg. However, it did not come into effect until January 14, 1965. Under this convention, there is no need for diplomatic (Embassy/Consulate) legalization of certificates when facilitating legal communication between member countries of the Hague Conference on Private International Law (HCCH). Instead, certificates merely require an Apostille Stamping from the Ministry of External Affairs, which validates the authenticity of the document for use in other member countries.

Apostille attestation typically takes 3 to 7 working days, depending on the type of document and the processing speed of the relevant authorities. However, urgent or express services may be available if you need it faster—just let us know!
Apostille attestation is valid in all countries that are members of the Hague Convention of 1961. This includes popular destinations like the USA, UK, Australia, Germany, France, Italy, the Netherlands, UAE (for some documents), and over 100 others. If you’re unsure whether your destination country accepts apostille, we’re happy to guide you.
An Apostille certificate does not have an expiry date. However, the validity of the underlying document (like a birth certificate or degree) and the requirements of the country where you’re submitting it may affect how long it is accepted. Some authorities may require a recent issue, typically within 6 to 12 months.
Both processes verify the authenticity of documents, but they serve different purposes:
Apostille is used for countries under the Hague Convention and involves a single-level verification with a unique apostille sticker.
Attestation is a multi-step process (HRD/Home Dept. → MEA → Embassy) and is used for countries not part of the Hague Convention, such as Qatar, UAE, Kuwait, and Saudi Arabia.
Vedic Global provides both services and will help you choose the right one for your destination.
It’s easy with Vedic Global! You can either:
Visit our office and hand over your documents in person, or
Courier your documents to us securely—we’ll verify, process, and return them with the apostille attached.
We handle the complete process, so you don’t have to worry about dealing with government offices.
