As of January 11, 2024, Canada joined the Hague Apostille Convention Abolishing the Requirement of Legalisation for Foreign Public Documents (Hague Apostille Convention), a multilateral treaty, the main purpose of which is to facilitate the circulation of public documents (e.g., birth certificates, corporate powers of attorney, diplomas etc.) issued by one country to be used in another country.

If you are travelling to a Hague signatory country, your authenticated documents will be issued apostilles which may not require further legalization at consulates or embassies.

Documents in languages other than English and French must be:

Issued within Canada à Notarized by an Ontario Notary Public à Accompanied by a translation. 

We offer a package of Authentication, includes drafting document, translation by ATIO translator, notarization, and obtaining the certification of Apostille.
