A list of these authorities is maintained by the Hague Conference on Private International Law. A state that has not signed the Convention must specify how foreign legal documents can be certified for its use.

An apostille is acceptable in 105 member-countries of the Hague Convention. So that means! Once you get a document apostilled, it will be recognized 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.

The Hague Conference has currently 82 Members: 81 States and 1 Regional Economic Integration Organisation. For the dates of membership, please consult the status table of the Statute of the Hague Conference.

The Hague Convention Abolishing the Requirement of Legalisation for Foreign Public Documents, the Apostille Convention, or the Apostille Treaty, is an international treaty drafted by the Hague Conference on Private international law. It specifies the modalities through which a document issued in one of the signatory countries can be certified for legal purposes in all the other signatory states. A certification under the terms of the convention is called an apostille (from Latin post-Ella and then French: a marginal note) or Hague Apostille.

It is an international certification comparable to a notarization in domestic law, and normally supplements a local notarization of the document. If the convention applies between two countries, such an apostille is sufficient to certify a document's validity, and removes the need for double-certification, by the originating country and then by the receiving country.
