Document Apostille at theEmbassy of Turkey

As Turkey is an apostille country, you may be requested to “apostille” your Canadian documents before they will be officially recognized within the country. The term “apostille” refers to the Hague Apostille Convention. Any country that has signed this convention can issue apostilles. Since Canada did not sign The Hague Apostille Convention, we use an equivalent process called document authentication and legalization. This 3 step process is done in Canada and involves Global Affairs Canada and the Embassy of Turkey.

We would be happy to assist you with the “apostille”, or authentication and legalization, of your Canadian documents for use in Turkey. By handling all steps of the Canadian apostille process for you we save you valuable processing time. Because our experts process many thousands of documents for our clients every year, we avoid the common mistakes and pitfalls that can greatly extend the cost and time required for processing.

The Embassy of Turkey typically takes 1-2 days for the legalization of Canadian documents. However, your documents must first be authenticated by Global Affairs Canada. The authentication at Global Affairs Canada is done by mail and will take up to 15 business days to authenticate your documents.

The pricing for the apostille of your documents at the Embassy of Turkey will vary depending on the number of documents you have and how quickly you need them processed. Note that you cannot obtain an actual apostille in Canada (take a look at our page about The Hague Apostille Convention for the reasons why). The Canadian equivalent to the apostille process is called document authentication and legalization.

When calculating the costs of the Canadian equivalent to the apostille process, you should factor in the costs charged by the Embassy of Turkey for each document being legalized, the costs of shipping your documents, and any costs associated with preparing your documents for processing (notarial services, translations, etc.).

Our experts can manage the entire process for you. If you use our services you should also factor in our service fees. When you contact us we will discuss your document processing needs, explain your options, and answer your questions – no pressure and no obligation. We also provide you with a detailed quote, so you can make an informed decision on how to proceed.

Feel free to contact us so we can discuss your situation and give you an idea of the costs involved with the process! Contact our experts to get your free quote, or review our website for more general information on our pricing.

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.
