What is Apostille Certificate?
An Apostille Certificate is a universally accepted authentication of the legitimacy of documents, recognized by member nations of the 1961 Hague Convention. The term “Apostille” is derived from the French word for certification. In the case of Indian documents needing validation in countries that are part of the Hague Convention, the Ministry of External Affairs India is responsible for overseeing the legalization process. This process entails affixing a distinct Apostille stamp, essentially a specialized certificate issued by the Ministry of External Affairs, confirming the genuineness and authenticity of the original document. It’s essential to note that more than 116 European nations and the United States acknowledge and accept Apostilles.
The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) holds exclusive authority to issue Apostille Stamps for documents originating in India. Apostille documents hold validity exclusively in countries that are signatories to The Hague Convention of 1961. This convention significantly simplified the procedure for validating foreign public documents, eliminating the need for multiple legalizations by the governments of member countries within the HCCH (Hague Conference on Private International Law).
Why is Certificate Apostille required ?
A Certificate Apostille is necessary due to the requirements of the Hague Convention. This international policy mandates that a certificate be affixed with an Apostille stamp in order to be used in countries that are members of the Hague Conference on Private International Law (HCCH). This procedure serves as a crucial security measure, ensuring the authenticity of certificates for purposes such as employment, education, exporting goods, or establishing a business in HCCH member countries.
The Apostille stamp effectively bestows legitimacy upon the document, making it valid, genuine, and officially recognized by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) of HCCH member countries. Notably, having an Apostille on your certificate eliminates the need for any further attestation from the respective country’s embassy, streamlining the process for international document use.
When is Certificate Apostille required ?
Traveling abroad for short-term visits or long-term purposes like work, education, residency, or immigration often necessitates obtaining an apostille. In simpler terms, an apostille is a process of legalizing documents, allowing you to prove the authenticity and validity of your required paperwork in your chosen destination country.
Following are the points where can require a Certificate Apostille.
- To establish a business overseas, it is essential to have commercial documents such as a Certificate of Incorporation, Registration, Board of Resolution, and Power of Attorney authenticated with an Apostille.
- Exports Documents: When dealing with export activities, Apostille authentication is necessary for key documents like Invoices, Certificates of Origin, and Packing Lists. This ensures their validity and acceptance when shipping goods overseas.
- Educational Certificates: For individuals seeking overseas education or employment opportunities, it is imperative to obtain Apostille stamps on educational certificates, including Degrees, Diplomas, and School Marksheets, to support their visa applications.
- Personal Documents: To obtain a Family Visa for international travel, Apostille stamps on personal documents such as Marriage Certificates and Birth Certificates are mandatory. These stamps confirm the authenticity of these vital records.
- Criminal Background Check: When proving a non-criminal background abroad, a Police Clearance Certificate (PCC) with an Apostille stamp is required. This document helps establish trust and eligibility when residing or working overseas.
- Medical Certification: To validate one’s fitness status for activities abroad, a Medical Certificate with an Apostille stamp is necessary. This ensures that the individual meets the health criteria set by the destination country.
- Single Status Certificate: In the context of overseas marriage registrations, a Single Status Certificate (also known as a Marriage Ability Certificate or Bachelorhood Certificate) must be Apostilled. This certification is essential for individuals planning to marry abroad.

The Indian Apostille is a square-shaped sticker stamp that contains 11 standard fields. At the top of the sticker is the word “APOSTILLE,” and just below it, you’ll find the text “Convention de La Haye du 5 October 1961” (in English: Hague Convention of 5 October 1961). The fields on the Apostille certificate contain vital information, and this certificate is affixed to the back of the document for authentication purposes.

The Hague Convention, officially known as the Hague Convention Abolishing the Requirement of Legalization for Foreign Public Documents, was formally signed on October 5, 1961, in the town of Luxembourg. However, it did not come into effect until January 14, 1965. Under this convention, there is no need for diplomatic (Embassy/Consulate) legalization of certificates when facilitating legal communication between member countries of the Hague Conference on Private International Law (HCCH). Instead, certificates merely require an “apostille” stamp from the Ministry of External Affairs.
