Apostille Canada

What is Apostille in Canada?

The Apostille is an official seal that can be placed on a document to authenticate the signature. The process for Canadian documents is not easy and it can take time to get done if you don’t know what you are doing. For help with this process, contact our experts at Document Legalization of Canada today! or fill the below form.

How Do I Get a Document Apostilled for Use Outside Canada?

The Canadian Apostille process is the most common way to authenticate documents for cross-border use. Apostilles are usually required by other countries when they receive a document from Canada but require an apostille before filing it with their local authorities. Hence, such as the court system or vital statistics office. Apostilles will make your documents acceptable in all international transactions governed by treaties and conventions of sovereign states that have signed the 1961 Hague Convention Abolishing Legal Requirements for Foreign Public Documents.

In Canada, the apostille process is called “document authentication and legalization”.  If you have been asked to apostille your Canadian document it actually means you have to authenticate and legalize your document. For example, here are some of the official documents we can apostille for you:

As of January 11, 2024 Canada has become a signatory to the Hague Apostille Convention, as many countries are.  Therefore, for countries who did not ratify the Hauge Apostille Convention the previous  Canadian version of the verification process will still be applied for document authentication and legalization.  Which involves authenticating a document at Global Affairs Canada (JLAC) and then at the foreign embassy where you intend to use your document.
