Document Apostille at theEmbassy of Mexico

Before you can use your Canadian documents in Mexico, you will need to “apostille” the documents at the Embassy of Mexico. However, in Canada this process is actually called authentication and legalization. This 3 step process is done in Canada through Global Affairs Canada and then the Embassy of Mexico.

We would be happy to assist you with the “apostille”, or authentication and legalization of your Canadian documents for use in Mexico. We can expedite the process and have them completed properly and quickly. Contact us here.

Yes, we can certainly handle the “apostille” or “document authentication and legalization” process on your behalf. You send your Canadian documents to our Ottawa office and we manage the rest on your behalf.

Contact our friendly staff so they can assess your situation and review your documents – no pressure and no obligation. We know document authentication and legalization can be stressful, so our team works hard to make the entire process as easy as possible for you.

The processing time at the Embassy of Mexico for the legalization of Canadian documents is typically 5 business days.

However, don’t forget that your documents must first be authenticated by Global Affairs Canada or the appropriate provincial authority. The authentication process can take up to 15 business days at Global Affairs Canada, or 5-10 business days through the provincial authorities.

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.
