legalization is the process of certifying a document so a foreign country’s legal system will recognize it. The process is used routinely in international commerce and civil law. It is generally performed by validation of the signature on a document by an authority which is higher in hierarchical terms. For example, a school diploma may need to be legalized by evaluation by the Ministry of Education, followed by legalization of the signature of the Ministry of Education by the Ministry of Foreign affairs. Once authenticated by the foreign ministry the documents then need to be reviewed and approved by the consular staff of the country in which the transaction is to occur.Often also certified translation is required for full legalization.The importance of Embassy legislation in a foreign country is inexhaustible. The United Arab Emirates is a hub of job opportunities and can always have something to offer for the qualified visitor. It is mandatory to have certificate attestation to get an employment card in the UAE. One can also register with a university in the country in order to access advanced education. One can also obtain a visa of residence in the foreign country and partake in sharing the national resources with the locals. Medical students pursuing their doctoral degrees also gain access to the country’s examination bodies which is otherwise a rather sensitive issue which involves difficult registration in normal applications.

Documents issued in one country and intended for use in another country must be “authenticated” or “legalized” in order to be recognized as valid in the foreign country.The number and type of authentication certificates you will need depend on the nature of the document and whether or not the foreign country is a party to the multilateral treaty on “legalization” of documents.If the country where the document will be used is not a party to the Convention , you will need “Embassy (Consular) Legalization” ( “Chain Authentication”). “Embassy (Consular) Legalization” of official documents is a procedure of confirmation of the validity of originals of official documents or certification of authenticity of signatures of the officials, authorized to certify the signatures on documents, and also the validity of prints of stamps, seals by which the document is fastened.

The Hague Convention Abolishing the Requirement for Legalisation for Foreign Public Documents has supplanted the default procedure by a system of apostille. It is available if both the country of the document and the country for which the document are party to the treaty. The apostille is a stamp on which standard validating information is supplied. It is available (dependent on the document) from a notary public or court.

Does the company submit its documents directly to the Embassies and Ministry of External Affairs?

If the company you choose does not submit their documents directly to the embassies and MEA, rest assured they rely on sub agents and agents to submit their documents in the embassies and MEA. So after submission your document is in effect passing from hand to hand.

The best way to check if the company is a direct submitter is by checking if they have their own offices in Mumbai and New Delhi because at the end of the day processing takes place in these two cities especially New Delhi because the embassies and the MEA is located there. If the company has offices there, ALWAYS make sure you collect the Landline phone numbers for checking the status of submitted documents.

Does the company have any tracking facility?

If you want to check the status of your document, your company will have to rely on hearsay if you rely on agents/travel agencies etc. They will never be able to give you a concrete day and time because they in turn rely on other sub agents and agents. After completing the legalisation processing, the documents come back in the same order to the certificate holder as it was passed in.

What happens if this chain of agents and subagents break? What happens if the document is lost? Who takes responsibility? Who is the guarantor of you valuable document? Genius Attestation Services guarantees you peace of mind.

Does your company have Express/ Emergency Services?

If you have to leave in a matter of a few days and you need speedy processing of your documents, does the company provide you with express services?

Does your company have a specific license for providing
attestation services?

Many people resort to travel agencies for all issues related to traveling abroad. While many travel agencies provide attestation services, it’s never their core business. To generate customers, they provide attestation services as a side business. So their legalization processing is done by the many dubious agents and sub agents.

Whom would you choose an ISO certified company like Genius Attestation Services or travel agencies and agents?

Is the company able to handle complicated and rare cases?

Attestation and apostille procedures are complicated.

Attestation /Apostille is a ONE TIME- LIFE TIME procedure, for the sake of saving a few hundreds would you Like to risk your career, family and future??

Attestation or Authentication Procedures are very complicated. Due to these complications, Travel Agencies, Sub Agents and Agents choose the easy way out because duplicate attestation is a low cost and time saving procedure apart from being outright fraud.

Many agents carry out fake attestations on the original certificates without the knowledge of the certificate holder. Some departments do not check the originality of the previous attestation, before doing their own department’s attestation on a certificate .Presently there is no online facility available to check the originality of authenticated documents and hence most of the times, fake attestations go unnoticed. Hence even the document owner is incapable of detecting a fake attestation.

Usually these fakes are caught while submitting the documents to a prospective employer. Result: LIFE BAN. Once a certificate with a duplicate Attestation /Authentication seal and signature by authorities is apprehended, the document owner will be charged under the law and convicted. The punishment is definitely a jail term for deceiving and swindling the Government. This is because the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is concerned with the genuinity of the attestation on the document. Fake attestation amounts to duping the government and is not tolerated. Many such cases have come to light in the Middle Eastern media.

The punishment will be handed to the document owner and not the agents. Moreover if these documents are seized in the Middle East or Europe, it results in a direct LIFE BAN in all countries as immigration information is shared by all the countries. Thus your dreams and hopes of a better life will disappear forever.

So

Beware..! Fake Attestation..! Avoid Life Ban Abroad
even before boarding your flight!!

Apostille is a certificate which verifies and confirms the seal and signature of person who authenticates the document. There are designated authorities in every country to issue apostille certificates or legalization. Apostilles are commonly issued for various documents related to adoption cases, for commercial documents, for educational documents and for court records, land records, school documents and patent applications.

Not all countries can issue apostille, but only the countries who had signed ‘Hague agreement for abolishing the need for public documents’. Once apostille is obtained, it is automatically considered ‘valid’ and ‘acceptable’ in all the 98 hague convention countries.
The following are considered as public deeds within the meaning of that Hague Convention:
· Any document issued by an authority or by an official covered by a jurisdiction of the State, including those coming from the public prosecutor, a clerk of the court or a bailiff;
· Administrative documents such as deeds from the public records office;
· Notarial deeds;
· Official declarations such as references of registration, visas for a set date and certifications of signature, applied to private agreements.

Procedure for apostille of Indian documents are as follows:

EDUCATIONAL DOCUMENTS

1. Home department Authentication (HRD)
2. Apostille Sticker from Ministry of External Affairs (MEA)

NON EDUCATIONAL DOCUMENTS

1. Subdivisional magistrate
2. Apostille sticker from Ministy of External Affairs

Frequently Asked Questions & answers

1. What is the Hague Convention

A. On October 5, 1961, many nations joined to create a simplified method of “legalizing” documents for universal recognition. This group of nations is known as the Hague Convention. They adopted a document referred to as an Apostille that is internationally recognized by all member nations.

2. WHAT IS AN APOSTILLE?

A. An Apostille is the legalization of a document for international use (only in the member countries of the Hague Convention) . On October 5, 1961, many nations joined to create a simplified method of “legalizing” documents for universal recognition. This group of nations is known as the Hague Convention. They adopted a document referred to as an Apostille that is internationally recognized by all member nations.
Why do I need an Apostille?
In order for documents to be accepted and recongised abroad in another country, they will most likely need to be legalised for authenticity. The body or organisation which you are presenting the documents to should be able to advise you whether you need to have them Legalised / Apostilled. You can obtain advice generally from the relevant Government Department, Educational Establishment, Embassy, Consulate or High Commission of the country concerned in London.
What exactly does ‘Apostille’ mean?
When you present a legal document in a foreign country, it is often very difficult to determine whether the document is genuine and legal. In 1961, the process for legalising documents for use abroad was abolished and replaced by a simple certificate of authenticity, called an ‘Apostille’, under the Hague Convention.
An ‘Apostille’ is a certificate that is attached to an official legal document to verify that the signatory on your document is genuine and person who signed your document is a recognised and authorised person of the organisation that issued the document. Each Apostille is dated, given a unique reference number and registered.
Will an Apostille be accepted by the country      where I am presenting my document?
We are unable to offer specific advice on whether an Apostille will be accepted by the Country where you are presenting the document. There are 69 Member States of the Hague Convention who will recognise and accept an Apostille Certificate. If your country is not listed on our Member States page, please check with the country where you intend to present your document.
