Certified translation, apostille and interpreting in Alberta

What to know in Alberta

Certified translation in Alberta

In Alberta, certified translators are generally members of ATIA (Association of Translators and Interpreters of Alberta), the body that grants the certified translator title. Many provincial agencies, courts and professional orders ask for a translation bearing that certification.

Apostille in Alberta

Alberta is one of the provinces that issues apostilles for its own public documents, through the Government of Alberta’s official documents and authentication office. Federal documents, such as RCMP record checks, go to Global Affairs Canada instead.

Embassy and consulate legalization in Alberta

For countries outside the Apostille Convention, documents from Alberta are first authenticated by the Government of Alberta’s official documents and authentication office, then legalized by the destination country’s embassy in Ottawa or a consulate with jurisdiction over Alberta.

Document retrieval in Alberta

Birth, marriage and death records registered in Alberta are issued by Alberta Vital Statistics, through registry agents. Eligibility rules, certificate formats and processing times are set by the province, so we apply in the exact format your destination requires.

Interpreting in Alberta

We send interpreters on site in the main cities in Alberta and cover the rest of the province by video or phone. Alberta’s energy and engineering sectors generate many corporate and professional credential files for work abroad and in Canada.

Requirements change. We confirm the current procedure with the receiving authority before starting your file.
