Do I have the correct version Birth Certificate for Apostille or Authentication and Legalization

Do I have the correct version Birth Certificate for Apostille or Authentication and Legalization?

Birth certificates come in a wide variety of formats in Canada. The most popular sizes are a birth certificate the size of a credit card, a polymer or half a letter, with or without the parents’ information (long form), and the longest form that is available, which, depending on the Provincial or Territorial Vital Statistics Department you are requesting to issue the document, can be called a Statement of Birth, Registration of Birth, Extract of Birth, or Copy of an Act of Birth. All forms can be authenticated or apostilled by Global Affairs Canada or the Provincial Authorities, with the exception of the birth certificate the size of a credit card, which is too small to allow the signatures and stamps of both the foreign embassy and Global Affairs Canada to be.

Particularly when it comes to immigration-related matters like applying for a visa, residency, or citizenship in a foreign country, some embassies can only legalize the longest form of birth certificate that is currently available, which is the Statement of Birth, Registration of Birth, Extract of Birth, or Copy of an Act of Birth. In other situations, depending on the goal of the legalization, the Embassy may be able to legalize any kind of birth certificate that Global Affairs Canada or the Province can authenticate. In these situations, however, the destination country may also need the longest form that is available. It is usually preferable to check ahead of time with the foreign party making the request or the Embassy – Consulate
