It is a convention of 1961 that was called to simplify the legalization process. A joint effort was made by countries to facilitate the use of public documents in a foreign country. The Hague Convention abolished all traditional methods of adopting one single document, called Apostille.

Whenever a person travels to a Hague Convention country, it becomes mandatory to get an Apostille on the documents.
Why is an Apostille needed on my documents?
An Apostille is needed to legalize one's documents for its use abroad. The authorities of a foreign country want to be certain of the status of a person as a legal citizen who holds original documents. Obtaining an Apostille helps to authenticate your documents and earns them a credible status. After obtaining it, one can use various documents abroad without any inconvenience.
In what form is an Apostille issued on my documents?An Apostille is issued by a credible authority only on the original documents of a person. An Apostille is usually issued in one of the following ways:
- Either it can be issued directly on the original document of a person.
- Or it can be issued on a separate attached page, which is known as an allonge.
An Apostille can be issued in the form of a sticker, stamp, or even a seal.
How would I know if my documents are certified properly?
The documents are certified properly when they have received an Apostille stamp from a competent authority. In India, the Ministry of External Affairs is the competent authority that is responsible for issuing an Apostille. After proper verification by respective regional and state authorities, the documents are sent for the final Apostille stamp to the Ministry of External Affairs.
