​
What is an Apostille? / Document Authentication?
​
An Apostille is a certificate that is often attached to a document after it has been certified by an authorized government official. Apostilles and authentication certificates are used to validate signatures, stamps, or seals on official documents. Court orders, contracts, vital records, and diplomas from educational institutions are just a few examples of such important documents.
The requirement for an authenticity certificate or an Apostille depends on the country in which the document is intended to be used. If the country where the document is to be used is a member of the 1961 Hague Convention, an apostille will be required.
Canadian Document Apostille Process
​
Canada officially joined the 1961 Hague Convention on January 11, 2024. Canada joining the Hague Apostille Convention means documents issued in Canada that will be presented in other signatory countries are now eligible for an Apostille. Hague Apostille Convention members in other destination countries should now accept apostilled Canadian documents.
Our Canada office can certify or authenticate any Canadian document anywhere in the world. Expedited processing services are available!
