Documents issued in one country which need to be used in another country must be
authenticated /legalized or Apostille before they can be recognized as valid in
the foreign country. This is a process in which various seals are placed on the
document. Such documents range from degrees, transcripts, powers of attorney and
other legal papers. If the country where you intend to use your documents is a member
of the Hague Convention, you need an Apostille. Don't know if you need an

Apostille is certificate which verifies and confirms the seal and signature of person
who authenticated the document. Some people call this 'superlegalisation'. There
are designated authorities in every country to issue apostille certificates or legalisation.
Apostilles are commonly issued for various documents related to adoption cases,
for commercial documents, for official documents related to vital statistics, and
for court records, land records, school documents and patent applications.
All documents should be first authenticated by the designated agencies in the State
from where the document has been issued. In case of personal documents, Home Department/General
Administration Departments are the designated authorities. In case of educational
documents, State Governments have now opened Regional Authentication Centers (RACs)
at various States from where the document should first be attested. Documents attested
by these authorities then need to be presented to MEA for issue of Apostilles.
