Comprehensive Apostille & Legalization
Services for International Use

  • Document recognition varies by country. Hague Apostille Convention members require an apostille, while non-members require consular legalization. Documents must be properly notarized or certified before authentication.
  • We assess the destination country’s requirements, ensure full compliance, and manage submissions to provincial, federal, and consular authorities. We provide end-to-end support to individuals, families, corporations, and legal professionals across Ontario and Canada.

Comprehensive Document Authentication Services

Hague Apostille Certification

  • In Ontario, all apostilles are issued by Ontario Official Documents Services (ODS) and Global Affairs Canada. We review your documents for eligibility, complete any required notarization, and submit them to ODS or Global Affairs Canada for apostille processing.
  • An apostille issued by ODS or Global Affairs Canada confirms the authenticity of official signatures, seals, and stamps, ensuring your document is recognized in Hague Convention countries without further embassy legalization.

Common apostille documents include

  • Birth, marriage, and death certificates
  • Powers of attorney
  • Academic diplomas and transcripts
  • Police clearance certificates
  • Corporate and commercial documents
  • Affidavits and statutory declarations

Embassy & Consular Legalization

  • If your destination country is not part of the Hague Convention, an apostille is not sufficient. Your documents must undergo legalization, a multi-step verification process.
  • Legalization typically involves: 1.Notarization (if required) 2.Authentication by a Canadian government authority 3.Legalization by the foreign embassy or consulate

Legalization is commonly required for documents used in countries such as:

  • United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait
  • China, Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia
  • Egypt, Nigeria, Pakistan, Philippines
  • Other non-Hague countries

Notaries also certify documents as true copies of originals. The word “notarization” is used to describe the service a public notary provides.In addition to those described above, these services also include the authority to administer oaths, solemn declarations and affirmations that are used for affidavits and statutory declarations.The notary will not necessarily review the substance of the document, but it is important to remember that you must sign the document in their presence.

It depends on your destination country. Countries that signed the Hague Convention accept apostilles. Countries that haven’t signed require traditional legalization through embassies. Send us your destination country and document type, and we’ll guide you.
