FAQs

  • What is an Apostille?
    An Apostille is a document authentication issued by a designated authority in countries that are part of the Hague Apostille Convention. It certifies the authenticity of a signature, seal, or stamp for legal use in other member countries.
  • What’s the difference between Apostille and document authentication?
    Apostilles are for countries in the Hague Apostille Convention, while document authentication is for countries outside of it. Authentication typically involves notarization and government certification (e.g., Global Affairs Canada).
  • What documents require Apostille or authentication?
    Common documents include: Birth, marriage, and death certificates Diplomas and transcripts Affidavits and powers of attorney Criminal background checks Corporate documents
  • Can I get an Apostille in Canada?
    Yes. As of January 11, 2024, Canada is part of the Hague Apostille Convention, allowing Canadian documents to be recognized in member countries without extra authentication steps.
  • What is the document authentication and legalization process in Canada?
    It involves three steps: Notarization Authentication by Global Affairs Canada or a provincial body Legalization by the consulate of the destination country.

Be sure to account for any additional time needed for legalization at foreign embassies or consulates if it’s a non-apostille country.
