FACTS ABOUT DOCUMENT CERTIFICATION

Apostille is the term used for documents intended for use in a country which is a party to a treaty called The Hague Convention Abolishing the Requirement of Legalization for Foreign Public Documents (“Hague Legalization Convention”).

Authentication is the term used for documents intended for use in a county which is not a party to The Hauge Convention. Thereby, the document will have to undergo the levels of authentication and legalization process.
