Apostille yourArticles of Incorporation

Yes! In most cases your articles of incorporation will need to be apostilled to be recognized in other countries. You may want to confirm with the recipient abroad where you are submitting the articles to confirm whether they require them with apostille.

If your articles of incorporation do require apostille in the destination country, you will need to compete the apostille process in Canada. They will need to be notarized first before they can be apostilled.

In some cases, when your articles of incorporation are destined for a non-apostille country, you will need to also have them legalized.

Each apostille office in Canada has its own processing time and requirements. When mailing in documents for apostille, you should expect to wait anywhere from 5 to 15 business days, depending on the office. Please note that if you make a mistake in how your documents are prepared or submitted, they will be returned to you unprocessed, forcing you to re-start the process from the beginning.

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.
