Meanwhile, in the case of apostilles, the convention grants the right to its member states to avoid legalization. Document certification comes with simpler procedures and can often be done with the help of a local notary.
Certification/legalization by apostille of the document means the confirmation of the authenticity of the signature on the documents and the certification of the document stamp.
A document certified by Apostille will be employed within the territory of the member states of the Hague Convention of October 5, 1961. Here is a list of countries with documents requiring apostille
The document legalization procedure is more complicated and requires more time. In most cases, the involvement of different state organizations, like the ministry of foreign affairs, is also required. Furthermore, consular legalization in the embassy of the country where the documents will be sent is always necessary.
All other countries accept legalized documents.
