What is Apostille?
An Apostille is a certificate issued by the designated authority in a country that validates the authenticity of a document for use in another country. It eliminates the need for further legalization or embassy attestation in countries that are signatories to the Hague Convention.

- State-Level Attestation: For educational and personal documents, the state-level authority (such as HRD or Home Department) authenticates the document.
