The apostille of documents for use in Colombia can be a simple process, depending on the type of documents you need processed.

For example, if you have a Canadian long-form birth certificate that you need to use in Colombia, processing will likely be simple. In most cases, all you will need to do is have this document apostilled through the appropriate apostille office in Canada. However, if you have a private document, there are a number of additional factors to consider. Is your document written in English or French? If no, it may need to be translated. Was it properly notarized? If not, the Power of Attorney will need to be notarized by a Canadian notary in good standing. Because of these differences, having the correct information on how to process your particular document is very important.

For these reasons, we encourage you to contact us for a detailed quote. We will discuss your particular situation and let you know how your documents need to be prepared. Feel free to contact us online or give us a call.

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.
