Authentication & Legalization Services in Ottawa
Trust the Experts in Document Authentication for Embassies & Consulates in Canada.
Embassy Authentication / Legalization Information
Why Do Documents Need Authentication and Legalization?
Many foreign countries will not accept documents before they have been authenticated by Global Affairs Canada. Once authentication has been completed, we send the documents on to the respective embassy in Ottawa, which then verifies Global Affairs’ signature, legalizing the document. This process is sometimes referred to as ‘apostille’ in other countries; as Canada is not a member of the apostille convention, this is the process that needs to be performed instead. Should you require clarification on the authentication and legalization process, speak with one of our specialists who will be happy to assist you.
Elgible Documents That Can Be Authenticated
