The Authentication & Legalization Process
To have a Canadian document recognized abroad, it must go through the apostille process—also known as authentication and legalization. This allows acceptance in countries that follow the Apostille Convention. For such destinations, the Canadian Apostille process applies and involves the following three steps.
Document Preparation
Preparing your document for the document authentication and legalization process can involve multiple steps including notarization, translation, and more.
Document Authentication
The document authentication process is the first step of the process to have your document officially recognized in another country that is not a signatory to the Hague Apostille Convention.
Document Legalization
The document legalization process is the last step of the process and involves having your document legalized by the embassy or consulate of the destination country.
