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.

Document apostille certificates are issued by countries that are signatories to the Hague Apostille Convention. Because Canada has not signed the Hague Apostille Convention, we use a different but equivalent process called document authentication and legalization. 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.
