What Our Clients Are Saying
Service was responsive, fast and affordable. I live in Vancouver and some places charge 4x more than idocs did. My biggest reservation was sending original documents across the country but I got them back safe and in good condition.

Sumeet Bhatti
Thank you for the update and for the exceptional service. I am glad we selected your company to assist us with our document legalization for overseas work. If we need further documents legalized we will definitely contact you again and will recommend you to others who may need similar service provisions in the future.
