 Certificate apostille is a form of authentication used for documents in countries that are part of the Hague Apostille Convention. It verifies the authenticity of signatures, seals, or stamps on official documents. Common documents requiring apostille include birth certificates, marriage certificates, educational diplomas, affidavits, and commercial papers. In India, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) is responsible for issuing apostilles. Documents must first be authenticated by relevant state authorities before being apostilled by the MEA. Apostilled documents are legally accepted in all Hague Convention member countries without further attestation. India provides an online platform called the E-Sanad system for document verification and apostille services. The process typically takes 5 to 7 days, depending on the type of document and issuing authority. 

 Embassy attestation is the process of verifying the authenticity of documents by the embassy of the country where they will be used. It is required for various purposes, including education, employment, business, and immigration. The process involves authentication by local authorities before submission to the embassy. Common documents that require embassy attestation include educational certificates, marriage certificates, commercial documents, and personal identification papers. The attestation confirms that the document is genuine and legally valid in the destination country. In India, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) oversees the attestation process before embassy verification. The processing time varies depending on the document type and the embassy's requirements. The cost of embassy attestation depends on the country and the nature of the document.
