There are a few different aspects to consider when preparing your documents for authentication and legalization.
- The recipient abroad should advise you what documents they need, whether they must be originals, and how they want them processed.
- You must meet the criteria of the authentication process. Whether you will authenticate with Global Affairs Canada, or the appropriate provincial office, they each have specific criteria for authentication.
- Each embassy or consulate also has their own specific requirements and rules for submission of documents for legalization. You must ensure you also meet their criteria for legalization.
