APOSTILLE SERVICES IN BANGLADESH

An Apostille (pronounced “ah-po-steel”) is a French word meaning certification. An Apostille is simply the name for a specialized certificate, issued by the Secretary of State. The Apostille is attached to your original document to verify it is legitimate and authentic so it will be accepted in one of the other countries who are members of the Hague Apostille Convention.

Bangladesh joined the Apostille Convention on July 29, 2024. 

Attestation refers to the classic method of verifying the authenticity of a document by having a witness physically present when it is signed, who then also signs the document to confirm that they saw the signature being made, essentially acting as a guarantor of the document’s legitimacy; this is often associated with legal procedures like notarization where a notary public acts as the attesting witness.

An Apostille/Attestation is required to authenticate documents for use in a foreign country that is a member of the Hague Apostille Convention. It verifies the authenticity of a public document so that it is recognized as legally valid abroad.

For countries not in this treaty, a different certification process called “Legalization” is used, typically involving consulates or embassies.
