Canadian documents for international use must go through either apostille certification or a two-step authentication and legalization process, depending on the destination country. Since Canada joined the Hague Apostille Convention in 2024, documents for member countries can now be apostilled without embassy involvement. For non-member countries, we continue to manage the full process through Global Affairs Canada (GAC) and the respective foreign embassy.

Initial Review & Consultation
We start with a free review of your documents to confirm eligibility and identify the correct legalization method based on the receiving country. We also clarify if your province allows local processing or if routing through Global Affairs Canada is required.
Provinces like Ontario, BC, Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Quebec can often process documents provincially. Other provinces and territories must go through Global Affairs Canada in Ottawa.
Notarization & Authentication
Whether you need in-person, mobile, or online notarization, we provide it. Once notarized, we manage the authentication step through GAC or the designated provincial authority, saving you weeks of waiting and travel.
Embassy Legalization or Apostille
If the receiving country is part of the Hague Apostille Convention, we obtain the apostille certificate. If not, we work directly with the appropriate embassy or consulate to legalize your document. We manage all fees and coordination on your behalf.
Secured Return
All completed documents are returned using trackable, secure couriers so you stay informed every step of the way.
We begin with a free consultation to check your document type and explain the country-specific requirements. This ensures we follow the correct steps from the very start.
