Apostille and embassy legalisation are two recognised ways of authenticating documents for international use. The right route depends on whether the countries involved are part of the Hague Apostille Convention.
An apostille is a single certification issued by a designated authority in a country that has joined the Hague Convention. Once attached, the document is recognised in all other member countries without further legalisation.
When either the issuing or destination country is not a convention member, documents typically need full embassy or consulate legalisation, which can involve multiple authentication steps.
MYDOX identifies the correct route for your document, issuing country, and destination, and manages the process end to end.
Requirements may vary by document type, issuing country, destination country, and authority. A MYDOX specialist will confirm the exact process for your request.
