Canada has applied the Hague Apostille Convention since January 11, 2024. A Canadian public document that carries an apostille is recognized in every other member country without further legalization by an embassy or consulate.
Which office issues the apostille depends on where the document comes from. Federal documents are handled by Global Affairs Canada, while Alberta, British Columbia, Ontario, Quebec and Saskatchewan apostille their own provincial documents. Some private documents first need a notary or a certified copy. We sort out the right path, prepare the documents and follow the file to the end.

Frequent questions
Is an apostille the same as legalization?
No. An apostille is a single certificate recognized by all Convention members. Countries outside the Convention still require authentication followed by legalization at their embassy or consulate.
Can a translation be apostilled?
Yes, once it has been certified or notarized in the form the authority accepts. We handle both steps.
Do I need to be in Canada?
No. Many clients live abroad. We can order the Canadian document, have it apostilled and ship it to you.
How long does an apostille take?
It depends on the authority and the season. We give you the current processing time with the quote and offer express options when they exist.
Do I need to come to your office for apostille in Newfoundland and Labrador?
No. Clients in Newfoundland and Labrador usually send documents by email and receive the result by email or courier. When an original must travel, we arrange tracked courier pickup and return.
