Hague Convention
The Hague Convention, also called Apostille Hague
Convention or Apostille Convention, was signed on
5th of October, 1961 in the town of Luxembourg.
However, it only became effective from 14th of
January, 1965. The convention was brought into
action in order to abolish the necessity of
legalization of documents and certificates to
make the liberalization among the countries more
convenient. When one obtains an apostille on
documents, there is no need of same on the
documents again for another signatory country.

reduced and there is better accessibility through
the nations.
