What Our Clients Are Saying
Communication was prompt and clear, and service exceeded expectations. I discovered only a month before my wedding in Portugal that one of my Canadian documents lacked necessary processing that would, under regular circumstances, take at least a month to complete. Heather and Evey made a potentially stressful experience easy and worry-free, processing and returning my document to Portugal two days after having received it. This is an excellent option for those needing expedited processing.
Sara T., Portugal
Thank you all for your assistance and professionalism. I can’t say enough about the service we received. I will not hesitate to utilize your firm again in the future or to recommend your firm to my colleagues.

It's been outstanding on all fronts especially in the communication department. A personal touch to the whole process was like icing on the cake. I would not hesitate to seek your help in future and recommend the services your firm to my colleagues and friends.

We have used IDC several times to expedite the authentication of critically important corporate documents related to SinoVeda’s business in India and China. The service was superb and cost effective. We have become a loyal customer and recommend IDC highly.
Al Gourley, SinoVeda Canada Inc.
The service was excellent. I received prompt feedback to my questions! I will recommend the service to any friends or colleagues who might need this service in the future.
Sumeet Bhatti, USA
I truly appreciated not only the quality of the services rendered but the great patience you had in walking me through the process. I have already circulated the name of IDC with all the paralegals of the firm and all the corporate commercial attorneys. Rest assured that any future need for an appostille will be directed to your firm.
Jacques Bourque, Degrandpre Chait LLP
This experience with IDOCS has been very good. Heather was wonderful and understood my need for quick action and I know you have been behind many of the communications. I would certainly refer anyone to use your services – highly recommended! And, your website, and completing payment details was as smooth as could be expected. You guys get full marks all the way!!! Thanks again, and I will keep your information for colleagues, etc.
Dr. Michael Powell, University of Alberta
I was pleased to find that the processing time was quite short. The documents were all processed and returned quickly and correctly. As well, a representative replied to each of my questions in a reasonable time frame. I would use this service again. You get what you pay for here.
Venus L., South Korea
From the first contact until I received my documents everything was clear and efficient and the customer service was superb. Due to a tight timeline I was not at all convinced that I would be able to get all my documents processed on time but everything was done for me as quickly as possible. I would recommend this service to anyone who is needing to get documents processed for a move overseas and I wouldn't hesitate to use this service again in the future. A big thank you for helping me in an extremely stressful and busy time.
