MEA Apostille vs. MEA Attestation & Fee Structure
MEA attestation is a verification step that feeds into further embassy attestation for non-Hague countries. MEA apostille is the final, single-step certification for Hague Convention destinations — once MEA issues the apostille, no further embassy step is needed.
MEA apostille charges are a government fee set nationally, separate from any prior HRD/Home Department verification fee and our own service fee for pickup, tracking, and coordination. Because fees are revised periodically, we confirm current charges before you submit rather than quoting a fixed number here.
