Best Apostille Services In Kerala At Affordable Cost

What Is An Apostille?

To understand, an apostille is like a seal for the documents in a particular format, which makes it legal and authentic. This certification or stamp is accepted by 92 countries and most of the West. To be more precise, an apostille is a square-shaped stamp that is put on the reverse side of the document by The Ministry of External Affairs, Government of India. 

Are all apostilles the same? No, each apostille has a unique identification number, which can be checked in any of the 92 countries to prove the authenticity of the certificate. An apostilled document doesn’t require any further kind of attestation from an embassy or government office. The apostille services in India will help you get an apostille attached to your original Kerala issued document, to verify its legitimacy which will be accepted by all the countries recognizing apostilled documents.

Why And When Document/Certificates Apostille Is Required?

Visa is the most important document that one needs when they have to think about moving out. While the apostilled documents will provide you with the credibility that will enable you to obtain any kind of visa. Apostilled documents make the immigration process easier, as well as protect you from legalized actions if you don’t have these.

The apostilled documents were introduced to make the legalization of documents a simple process and also universally recognized. Almost all countries accept apostille documents, and this list includes The United States as well. 

Countries Accepting Apostilled Documents

In 1961, many countries came together to create a simple and efficient way of document legalization, and this was recognized universally. All the countries who came together became a part of The Hague Convention. The apostille is recognized as a legal and authentic way to verify documents by all member countries. This recognition makes the process of the international movement and visa acceptance much easier. All the countries that come under Hague Convention accept apostille documents.

But there are also many countries where apostilled documents hold no value, for those countries their expected procedure is required to be completed.

For the apostille process, the main document is followed by many other documents in a proper format.

Documents and certificates related to education

Personal or Non- Educational Documents and certificates

Extra Documents to support
