Certified translation, apostille and interpreting in Northwest Territories

What to know in Northwest Territories

Certified translation in Northwest Territories

In Northwest Territories, there is no local certifying association, so authorities usually accept translations certified by a member of another provincial association of the CTTIC network, or a translation accompanied by the translator’s sworn affidavit.

Apostille in Northwest Territories

Public documents issued in Northwest Territories are apostilled by Global Affairs Canada (Authentication Services), which also handles federal documents. Documents signed by a notary or commissioner in the province follow the same route.

Embassy and consulate legalization in Northwest Territories

For countries outside the Apostille Convention, documents from Northwest Territories are first authenticated by Global Affairs Canada (Authentication Services), then legalized by the destination country’s embassy in Ottawa or a consulate with jurisdiction over Northwest Territories.
