Document Apostille forThe Netherlands

Because Canada has signed the Hague Apostille Convention (took effect Jan. 11, 2024), it is now possible to have your Canadian documents apostilled. Document apostille is done in Canada with the appropriate government authority. The appropriate government apostille office is determined by the origins of your documents.

You may find the jurisdictions outlined on the Global Affairs Canada website. Each provincial authority also has a website containing the jurisdictions and requirements.

Document “apostille” certificates are issued by countries that are signatories to the Hague Apostille Convention. Because Canada had not signed the Hague Apostille Convention, we use a different but equivalent process called “document authentication and legalization”. However, in January 2024 Canada will finally be able to issue an Apostille on a Canadian document.

The primary difference between these two processes is that an apostille certificate will be recognized by any country that has signed the Hague Apostille Convention, whereas a document that has been authenticated and legalized will only be recognized by one specific country – the country that has legalized the document.

Legalization at the Embassy of the Netherlands used to only take a couple business days. However, now that Canada has signed the Hague Apostille Convention (takes effect Jan 11, 2024), legalization at the embassy is no longer required.

Your Canadian documents will need to be apostilled by the appropriate government authority. The processing times at the apostille offices vary and range from 1-15 business days for the provinces and 70 business days for Global Affairs Canada.
