What’s an Apostille Document and why is it needed?
An Apostille stamp or sticker is a way to testify to the authenticity of a certificate or document you want to use in one of the Hague countries. Apparently, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) and West Bengal Secretariat officials would need to legalize it.
This unique stamp on Apostille will be accredited on presenting original and attested documents.
In fact, getting documents apostilled is required in 92 countries.
