Apostille and document attestation in Bangladesh at a glance
An apostille is a certificate that confirms the origin of a public document so it can be used in another country that is party to the Hague Apostille Convention. In Bangladesh, documents for use abroad are attested or apostilled through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA).
Depending on the document, verification by the issuing authority or another ministry may be needed first, and some countries require embassy legalisation instead of an apostille. The right route depends on the document and the country where it will be used.
