 MEA Apostille

Apostille is done for personal documents like Birth Certificate/Death Certificate/Marriage Certificate, Affidavits, Power of Attorney, etc. and educational certificate like degree, diploma, matriculation and secondary level certificates etc.

Apostille is acceptable in 105 member-countries of the Hague Convention. So that means! Once you get a document apostilled, it will be recognised by the below 105 countries Thus, greatly simplifying the process of attestation by making it needless to get the documents attested in each or for each of the countries separately.
