What is Apostle Services?
An apostle is a form of certification established under the Hague Convention of 1961, designed to authenticate documents for international use between participating countries. It serves as proof of the document’s validity, such as birth certificates, marriage records, court rulings, diplomas, and other public documents, ensuring they are recognized in other nations.
The apostle process involves affixing a specific certificate to the document, confirming its authenticity for acceptance in the destination country. This certification simplifies the recognition of legal documents between countries that are part of the Hague Convention.
For countries that are not members of the convention, a different method of validation, usually involving consular legalization, is required to authenticate the document for foreign use.
Certificate attestation is necessary across various fields, including:
- Education: This includes higher education documents such as academic degrees (bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral), diplomas, transfer certificates (TC), transcripts, and mark sheets.
- Employment: Documentation for employment encompasses certifications, experience letters, and professional references.
- Immigration: Important immigration documents include birth certificates, marriage certificates, divorce decrees, and death certificates.
- Legal Matters: This category covers court judgments, legal documents, powers of attorney, and affidavits.
- Business and Commerce: Includes company registration documents, memoranda of association, and business contracts.
- Healthcare: This involves medical certifications, health records, and immunization certificates.
These attestations serve to verify that documents are authentic and valid for use in foreign countries.
Apostille Procedure
The attestation process usually consists of multiple steps, often necessitating that the document be verified by various authorities in both the country where it was issued and in the UAE.
Notarization
The document may first need to be notarized by a notary public in the country of issuance.
Foreign Affairs Ministry
Following notarization, it is usually required to get the document attested by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (or equivalent) in the same country.
UAE Embassy/Consulate
The document then needs to be attested by the UAE Embassy or Consulate in the country of issuance.
Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA)
Once in the UAE, the document must be attested by MOFA to ensure it is recognized within the UAE.
