What is the Hague Convention Apostille?

An Apostille is a standardized attestation certificate issued by member states under the 1961 Hague Convention to legalize records for international boundaries.

1. Treaty Framework

Under the Hague Treaty, documents validated with an official MEA stamp on degree certificate sheets are accepted in Italy and 120+ other member countries without further diplomatic attestation.

2. Double Attestation

The Apostille is not printed directly onto original paper. Instead, MEA officers attach a physical square sticker containing dry stamps, unique serial numbers, and signatures to the reverse side of the verified document.

3. Anti-Forgery Seal

Every MEA sticker includes holographic strips and laser prints. Consular and university officers check these details on the central E-Sanad registry database before issuing admissions or visa vouchers.
