The reason UAE is not a member in it demanding Apostille Attestation. Essentially Apostille is an internationally accepted attestation in about 92 countries and most of the western world recognizes apostille. Apostille guarantees an international legality of a document whereas notary and common attestation verifies its legal validity of document signature by an individual. Apostille stamp is a computer-generated sticker stamp in a square-shaped, fixed on the opposite of the certificate. This has a different ID number, by which any associate nation of The Hague convention can verify its legitimacy online. Prompt attestation is well known for apostille services. The document which has apostille stamp in one member country is acceptable in all the other member countries which are 104 countries as of the year 2018.
