Apostille or Authentication?
As stated above, apostilles are a swift and efficient way to authenticate documents for countries under the Hague Convention. On the other hand, authentications are required for countries outside the convention. They will involve additional steps, such as verification by multiple authorities, making the process more complex and time-consuming.
