Apostille / Authentication – Understanding the Difference
We often encounter confusion among our clients regarding the distinction between Attestation and Apostille. To provide clarity, let’s delve into the dissimilarities between the two:
Apostille
An Apostille serves as a form of verification and authentication for documents intended for use in countries that are signatories of the Hague Convention of 1961. Examples of countries part of this convention include Oman, UK, USA, Bahrain, India, Germany, and others.
Attestation
Conversely, Attestation is a method of authentication for documents required in countries that are not parties to the Hague Convention of 1961. Examples of such countries include the UAE, Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and others.
Documents Eligible for Apostille
Commonly, documents such as Birth certificates, Marriage certificates, and Education certificates (diplomas and degrees) are apostilled for use in foreign countries or Hague Convention signatory nations.
Purposes of Apostilled Documents
Apostillation is essential for various purposes, including:
- Visa applications in Apostille countries (Oman, Bahrain, USA, UK, etc.)
- Enrollment in educational institutions in Hague Apostille countries
- Insurance applications
- Sponsoring spouses or family members to Apostille countries
- Police clearance certificate applications
- Establishing new companies or opening branches in Hague convention countries (Apostille Countries).
Apostille / Authentication – Process Overview
To illustrate, let’s consider the process for obtaining an Apostille for Indian certificates:
- Notary Public Verification
- Sub-divisional Magistrate
- Ministry of External Affairs
- Apostille
It’s important to note that this process may vary depending on the country of issuance of the document.
