What is an Apostille?
An apostille is an official attestation that authenticates the origin of a public document. It is valid for use in countries that are members of the Hague Convention of 1961. This certification ensures your documents are legally recognised across borders without further legalisation.
An apostille is a government-issued certification that validates the authenticity of a public document, such as a birth certificate, degree, or marriage certificate, for use in a foreign country. It confirms that the signature, seal, or stamp on the document is genuine. This process was established under the Hague Convention of 1961, which was designed to simplify the legalization of documents across international borders.
The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) is the only competent authority in India to issue apostilles. The process typically includes notary verification, state-level authentication (like Home Department or HRD), and then final apostille stamping by the MEA. Once apostilled, your document is recognized in over 100 Hague Convention member countries, including popular destinations like France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Australia, and many more.
Apostille is commonly required for purposes such as studying abroad, employment visas, PR applications, international marriages, or business expansion. It eliminates the need for separate embassy or consulate legalization, making it faster and legally accepted.
At TrueMark Attestation, we make this process seamless by handling all necessary verifications and MEA submissions on your behalf. Whether it’s an educational, personal, or commercial document, our team ensures 100% secure, accurate, and on-time apostille services.
