Certified translation, apostille and interpreting in Nunavut

What to know in Nunavut

Certified translation in Nunavut

In Nunavut, 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 Nunavut

Public documents issued in Nunavut 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 Nunavut

For countries outside the Apostille Convention, documents from Nunavut 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 Nunavut.

Document retrieval in Nunavut

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

Interpreting in Nunavut

We send interpreters on site in the main cities in Nunavut and cover the rest of the territory by video or phone. Nunavut’s official languages are Inuktut (Inuktitut and Inuinnaqtun), English and French.

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