Apostille & Legalisation
An Apostille Does Not Prove a Document Is Genuine in Every Respect
An apostille verifies the relevant signature, seal or stamp; it does not independently confirm every fact stated in the document.

Can a receiving authority still reject an apostilled document?
Yes. The receiving authority can have additional requirements.
