The turn-around time for the apostille of your marriage certificate will depend on a few factors:

• Where do you need to use the certificate?

If it is destined for an apostille country, an apostille is required by the appropriate apostille office in Canada. Each office varies in processing time.

If it is destined for a non-apostille country, the document will need an additional step of legalization. The diplomatic mission of the destination country will set its own processing time.

• How are you going to handle the process (i.e. by mail, in person, use an agent)?

If you send it by mail, it could take longer. In person is almost always faster, although not always available.
