Therefore, the documents need to be legalized in such scenarios. The verification process is quite similar; however there is a requirement of an additional Embassy Legalization by the Consular Office of the country in which the document is to be used.
In other instances, there are countries that require further authentication for international acceptance of notarized documents over and above the Apostille. An excerpt from the Brooke's Treatise which is an authority used in English courts, must be quoted to bring clarity to the issue of apostille of affidavits.
The verification required is a certificate annexed to the affidavit, or other document, certifying that the person before whom it was sworn or taken was duly authorized to administer oaths in the country in which it was sworn or taken and such certificate must be signed by a British Consul or Vice-Consul, or verified by the seal of the High Court or of a local court of record of the said country.

But the court further stated that "once a witness had appeared in the witness box on oath solemnly affirmed the contents of his affidavit which was tendered in evidence, the procedural irregularity in the notarization of the affidavit had disappeared" 9. On the basis of the research stated above, the author concludes that the affidavit drawn by the Trademark Applicant, who is based in U.
K, must have been apostilled in India for it to be considered as validly Notarized in India. But in accordance to the law laid down in the judgments stated above, this could be treated as a procedural irregularity which can later be cured.
