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.

Prior to January 2024, the process to have Canadian documents recognized in Spain was called “authentication and legalization”. However, now that Canada has signed the Hague Apostille Convention, the process is to obtain a Canadian apostille.

The diplomatic missions of Spain in Canada no longer handle legalization of documents from Canada.
