An apostille is a certificate that authenticates your Ontario corporate document, such as Articles of Incorporation or a Certificate of Status, for legal use in another Hague Convention member country. It's commonly required for opening a foreign bank account, registering a branch office abroad, entering international contracts, and foreign business registration.
Since this document is issued directly by the Ontario government, it's already apostille-ready. We submit it to ODS as-is, no notarization step required.
Articles of Incorporation are the foundational legal document that created your corporation, filed with the Ontario government when the company was formed. A Certificate of Status, by contrast, is a current snapshot confirming your company is active and in good standing as of the date it was issued. Foreign institutions often specify exactly which one they need, and a Certificate of Status in particular is frequently required to be recently issued, so it's worth confirming before you order.
Foreign banks commonly require an apostilled Certificate of Status or Articles of Incorporation to verify your company's legal existence and good standing before opening a corporate account.
Foreign business registries often require apostilled corporate documents before allowing a Canadian company to register a branch office or subsidiary in their jurisdiction.
Apostilled corporate documents establish your company's legal standing when entering contracts, partnerships, or bidding on tenders with foreign businesses or governments.
A minimum of 15 business days of ODS processing, plus standard shipping time to send your documents and standard shipping to get them back.
Government fee, hand delivery to ODS, and tracked return shipping, all included. Nothing extra for you to arrange.

Apostilled corporate documents establish your company's legal standing for contracts and partnerships with foreign businesses.
Many foreign registries and banks reject a Certificate of Status older than 30 to 90 days. Check the receiving institution's freshness requirement before you order.
Articles of Incorporation and a Certificate of Status serve different purposes, and registries aren't always interchangeable about which one they'll accept.
If you need to file the same corporate document in more than one place, ordering extra certified copies upfront is cheaper and faster than a second order later.
Corporate documents headed to a non-English, non-French jurisdiction often need a certified translation alongside the apostille.
Most companies advertise one low price, then add extra charges once you're already committed, such as return shipping, rush processing, file handling, or a government fee they didn't mention upfront. We don't do that. Because our team personally hand delivers your documents instead of paying a courier or a third-party agent, we're able to pass those savings on to you.

Yes, you can include multiple documents in the same order and pay the discounted rate for each additional apostille.
Your corporate document instead needs authentication and legalization through a Canadian authority and that country's embassy or consulate. We can guide you through this.
For official, government-sourced details on how authentication and apostilles work in Ontario, see Ontario's Official Documents Services guide and the full list of Hague Apostille Convention member countries.
We can combine multiple documents into one order, so if you need more than one of these apostilled, let us know and we'll bundle them together.
Send us your document and we'll take care of the rest.
