Original Canadian divorce certificates do not typically need to be notarized before they are submitted for an apostille. The divorce certificate should have the original signature and seal of the court official. However, if you do not have an original, or the signature is illegible, or it is too old, you may need to have the divorce certificate notarized.

However, be sure that a notarized version of the divorce certificate is acceptable to the recipient and (if applicable) the embassy or consulate of the destination country.
