What is the difference between Attestation and Apostille?

Attestation is the multi-step legalization chain, Notary, State/HRD, MEA and the destination country's Embassy, required for non-Hague countries such as the UAE, Saudi Arabia and Qatar. Apostille is a single MEA-issued sticker accepted directly by 120+ Hague Convention countries with no embassy step. Tell us your destination and we confirm which route applies.
