Document Legalization / Apostle Services:
Attestation or Legalization or Apostle is a process of certifying documents by the respective designated authority from the country of origin to recognize a foreign host country’s legal system. The certificate attestation/legalization of documents depends on the type of document, issuance place, and travel country. Documents that may require legalization/apostle include birth certificate, marriage certificate, degree certificate, and commercial documents.
Attestation/legalization of documents for immigration is a multi-step process that is time-consuming and tedious. Failing to comply with the laws and regulations regarding the legalization/attestation of papers can result in the rejection of the work permit and visa applications and sometimes even result in detention or deportation.
The common documents that require legalization are:
Educational Documents
Certificate attestation is vital to pursue higher education in a foreign country or an employment visa. Every educational certificate must be verified from the place of issuance and attested by the State designated Authority (Human Resource – HRD / Higher Education – HED / Home Department – SHD.) followed by the MEA Attestation/ Apostle.
