The JLAC section of Global Affairs Canada is responsible for the apostille of documents that originate from or are notarized in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, Newfoundland and Labrador, Manitoba, Yukon, and the Northwest Territories.

They are located in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, and authenticate hundreds of thousands of documents every year. It can be hard to contact them, although they will respond to emails addressed to docs@international.gc.ca. You may also consult the JLAC website.

Our friendly staff would welcome the chance to answer any questions you have about JLAC and the Canadian document authentication and legalization process – contact us!
