India and Estonia are signatories to the Hague Apostille Convention, the purpose of which is to reduce the two-stage authentication of public documents to one single stage. If a public document is apostilled by the country of origin, it does not require re-authentication by the authorities of the country in whose territory it has to be produced.  A public document that has once been certified with an apostille can be used in all countries who are signatories to the Hague Apostille Convention. (For more info visit the website: www.hcch.net). In short, any document apostilled by the Estonian/Indian authorities, does not require to be attested by the Embassy again.
