Canadian documents that need to be officially recognized in Lebanon will need to be attested by the Embassy of Lebanon in Canada. "Attestation" is the final step in the Canadian document authentication and legalization process. This process is used to certify the authenticity of Canadian documents so that they will be officially recognized in another country.

There are three steps to the document attestation process:

Step 1 - Preparing your documents

Step 2 - Authenticating your documents with the appropriate apostille authority

Step 3 - Legalizing your documents at the Embassy of Lebanon

Global Affairs Canada and each provincial apostille office have specific requirements for how documents need to be prepared. These requirements will depend on the type and origin of your documents.

Apostilles are issued by an office in Canada based on the origin of the documents. The apostille will be issued by either by Global Affairs Canada, or by a provincial office if your documents originate from British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, or Ontario. Once you know where to have your documents apostilled, you will need to research how to prepare and submit your documents, as unfortunately each apostille office has their own unique procedures, requirements, fees, and timelines.

Contact our friendly staff to discuss the requirements that apply to your specific situation, or review our instructions on how to prepare your documents for authentication and legalization.
