The adoption of this procedures made a universal legalization procedure which is applicable to all the members of Hague convention. The members of Apostille nations include United States of America, United Kingdom, Australia, India, Ireland, Israel, Japan, New Zealand etc…Since the presence of big powers in the list made this legalization more vital and gave the legalization industry a universal face.

The Apostille procedure includes Home Department Authentication from concerned state and the Apostille authentication from Ministry of External Affairs.

Apostille for Japan

September 30th, 2012 | Posted by Sahil in Apostille - (Comments Off)

An Apostille Certificate is an official certificate issued to documents so they will be recognised in member states without further Legalisation. It’s normally issued from the state which the document has originated or in some cases other states can also issue an Apostille. Once the Apostille certificate is attached to the document confirming authenticity of signature and seals it can be presented in any country which recognises the Apostille. The authority which is receiving the document should now accept the seals and signatures as valid and true without requesting further evidence or proof. Certificate Apostille is always too hard to imagine especially when you are trying to facilitate the process from overseas.

Apostille UK Certificate ?

September 30th, 2012 | Posted by Sahil in Apostille - (Comments Off)

An Apostille UK stamp or an Apostille Certificate is an official certificate issued to legal documents so that they do not need any further legalisation from member Apostille giving states or countries. It is a very useful certificate which can clearly save an individual or a company a lot of time and effort in obtaining clearance or additional legal documents so that their current documents may be considered legal or “legit” in the country or state that they are currently in. The Apostille UK Certificate is the result of the abolishing of legal documents as requirements for legalisation by the Hague Convention. The Hague Convention is a global organization with the sole purpose of making it easier and simplifying the different methods of acquiring legal documents for every member state and country. Their main goal is to get rid of the red tape surrounding the obtaining of legal documents, allowing individuals and corporations wishing to use their current documents to the countries they need it for by just requiring an Apostille Certificate.

Apostille Requirements

September 30th, 2012 | Posted by Sahil in Apostille - (Comments Off)

Since October 15, 1981, the United States has been part of the 1961 Hague Convention abolishing the Requirement of Legalization for Foreign Public Documents (Only). The Convention provides for the simplified certification of public (including notarized) documents to be used in countries that have joined the convention. Documents destined for use in participating countries and their territories should be certified by one of the officials in the jurisdiction in which the document has been executed. Said official must have been designated as competent to issue certifications by “Apostille” (usually in the office of the State Secretary of State of his/her counterpart) as provided for by the 1961 Hague Convention.

With this certification by the Hague Convention Apostille, the document is entitled to recognition in the country of intended use, and no certification by the U.S. Department of State, Authentications Office or legalization by the embassy or consulate is required.

Documents requiring certifications with an apostille by the U.S. Department of State are those that have been signed by a federal official with the official Seal of that agency, American Consular Officer, Military Notary (10 USC 1044a) or Foreign Consul (Diplomat Officials must be registered with the Office of Protocol). Note:These documents must include the official’s title and his/her signature must be legible. Please also note that the U.S. Department of State will not issue an apostille for State-issued documents.

Certificate apostille

September 29th, 2012 | Posted by Arshad in Apostille - (Comments Off)

An apostille is a water mark or certified stamp that makes important documents certified and legal. The apostille is a French term meaning ‘a certification’. It is mainly a title given to the authentication certificate issued under the Hague Convention, abolishing the requirement of legalization of foreign public documents. The Apostille Certifies to the authenticity of the signature, the capacity in which the person signing the document has acted and where appropriate, the identity of the seal or stamp which the document bears.

Documents issued in one country to be used in or presented to another country must be authenticated or legalized before the other country will recognize those documents and give the documents the legal import given in the jurisdiction of orgination.The Hague legalization convention simplifies the procedure for documents presented to countries adopting the convention prior to Hague convention and for countries which are not members of convention ,the chain authentication procedure was used .this involves multiple authentication by different countries in the chain of issuance .

An Apostle certificate is a globally accepted document attestation that got approval for the first time in the Hague Convention in the year 1961. Our India is a party to the Hague Legalization Convention .This certificate attestation method was recommended as the easiest way of producing legal certificates of international standard. An Apostille certificate indicates that the document satisfies the legal criteria in the host country. These types of certificates usually authenticate the stamp & signature present on the document.+
