With globalization on the rise, individuals, and businesses alike, frequently need to apostille their documents for use abroad. This process can be streamlined using trusted Canadian apostille services. This article will provide an in-depth look at the apostille process and how International Documents Canada Inc.

What is an Apostille?
An apostille is an official type of document certification that verifies the authenticity of a document from one country, so it can be used in another country that is also a member of the Hague Apostille Convention. The apostille process simplifies the document verification process by avoiding the need for further steps to legalize the documents through a diplomatic mission.
